ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a community-based non-profit organization whose work is interoperable and open. ORCID will never sell or profit from your data, and ORCID iDs will always be free to use. An iD uniquely identifies you as a researcher and connects together all of your publications and grants.
There are over 112 publishers and 20 funders who require or strongly encourage ORCID iDs upon submission, including Cambridge University Press, SAGE, Springer Nature, Wiley, NIH, Wellcome Trust, and NSF.
Registering for an ORCID iD takes 30 seconds (yes, we timed it!). Once you've registered, you can connect your iD to your Swarthmore credentials for single sign on.
You can add information such as employment, education, invited positions, membership and service, funding, and publications.
We're happy to help you populate your ORCID profile!
You can easily populate your SciENcv by integrating your ORCiD profile.
To get started, log into My NCBI, and click the link under SciENcv to create a new one.
Click "Edit" next to "My Profile," which will launch a pop-up window prompting you to edit your personal information. Add your first and last names and click "Select here to link your ORCiD iD."
You will be prompted to sign into ORCiD and authorize NCBI to access the information within your profile. For more information, refer to SciENcv: Integrating with ORCID [Video: 3m 42s].
