Nazarbayev University LibGuides: ORCID: ORCID Benefits & Use

Why should you register for an ORCID iD?

An ORCID iD distinguishes you and ensures your research outputs and activities are correctly attributed to you.
It reliably and easily connects you with your contributions and affiliations.
It reduces form-filling (enter data once, re-use it often).
It improves recognition and discoverability for you and your research outputs.
It is interoperable (works with many institutions, funders, and publishers).
It is persistent (enduring).

Using an ORCID iD will ensure accurate attribution to researchers, since many researchers:

share the same or similar name
work or publish under different versions of their name
change their name
have their name transliterated
change institution
move to a different country
study multiple disciplines

Regardless of these changes, a researcher’s ORCID iD will remain the same and it can be used across hundreds of research information systems, ensuring that research will always be connected to the correct researcher.

Funders, publishers and repositories have also started integrating ORCID iDs into their grant application workflows and grantee profile records.

NTL is one of the organizations that now requires contributors to have or acquire an ORCID iD when submitting an object to the ROSA P repository.

Six Ways to Make Your ORCID iD Work for You!
ORCID recommends following these six easy steps to building an authoritative ORCID record.

How to Use ORCID iDs

Both the number of ORCID iDs issued and their use across the research landscape are growing. Researchers are utilizing ORCID iDs in a number of ways:

linking it with other IDs, such as International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI), Researcher ID, Scopus Author ID, etc.
including it in their author listing on a publication
listing it on CVs, resumes, web pages, email signatures, business cards, or other public profiles

In addition, some metadata standards now include an optional field for the inclusion of a contributor ID or person ID.

ORCID iDs can be displayed in a number of places to link works to a specific researcher, such as a personal website, publications, grant applications, etc.

ORCID registration

How do I register for an ORCID ID?

Registering your ORCID iD is an online process that should take less than one minute. You own your ORCID record and, after registering for it yourself, you will be able to update or add information -- or give others permission to do so -- by signing into your account.

This guide will familiarize you with the ORCID registration form.

After submitting your registration, you will be directed to your new ORCID record. Make sure you look for a welcome message from ORCID asking you to verify your email address. If you don’t see it in your main email inbox, check your spam or junk folder.
