ORCID: Open Researcher and Contributor ID

What is ORCID?

  • UNC-wide initiative coming soon
  • Open Researcher and Contributor ID (=ORCID)
  • Unique identifier for scholars; open science movement; address name ambiguity and changes over time;
  • Unique identifier helps with common names, name changes, different versions of names used on different publications (e.g., first, middle initial versions of names)
  • In the future, databases will incorporate searching by ORCID, making author searching easier
  • Journals and Funders (e.g., Autism Speaks) are beginning to require ORCID’s
  • Researcher ID systems (e.g., ORCID, Scopus Author ID, WOS ResearcherID) and NCBI My Bibliography, SciENcv (can be used to create NIH biosketches) are beginning to “speak” to one another
