ORCID is an independent non-profit organization that provides a persistent identifier – an ORCID iD – that distinguishes you from other researchers and a mechanism for linking your research outputs and activities to your iD. ORCID is integrated into many systems used by publishers, funders, institutions, and other research-related services. Learn more at https://orcid.org.
How and why we collect ORCID iDs?
This site is collecting your ORCID iD so we and the wider community can be confident that you are correctly identified and connected with your publication(s). This will ensure your connection to your full body of work stays with you throughout your career.
Where are ORCID iDs displayed?
To acknowledge that you have used your iD and that it has been authenticated, we display the ORCID iD icon 
alongside your name on the article page of your submission and on your public user profile.
