ORCID and Other Author Identifiers/Profiles: Introduction
Resources for creating and using ORCID, ResearcherID, and Scopus Author ID.
What are Author IDs?
An author ID is a unique identifier used to distinguish you from other researchers who have the same or similar names. Obtaining author IDs, and making sure that you use them in your c.v., website, publications, and grant applications, is something all researchers should do to make sure they are credited for all of their work.
Author profiles, like Google Scholar Citations profiles, provide up-to-date listings of your publications and citation counts, as well as facilitates collaboration.
