Benefits of ORCID
Why have an ORCID iD?
- Easy to register and use
- Distinguishes your name and disambiguates you from other researchers, ensuring your research is properly credited
- Increases visibility by compiling all your research output in one place
- Saves time by reducing manual data entry through automatic harvesting
- Promotes your research and facilitates collaboration across borders, institutions and disciplines
- Streamlines research workflow, such as manuscript and grant submissions
- Empowers you to self-manage your personal privacy while keeping your work publicly available
- Meets requirements for publications and grants: see ORCID in publications and ORCID Funders policies. Applications made through the Concordia Research Administration Database (ConRAD) also require ORCID.
- Moves with you: research data stays with you across organizations and national boundaries
- Interdisciplinary: adapts to a range of scholarly outputs: see ORCID worktypes
- Integrates with a range of systems/platforms: once they're linked, you can push information back and forth between services
