Open Research and Contributor ID (ORCID)
An Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) ensures your research gets credited to you, and connects your work with a broader research toolkit.
Creating an ORCID account and connecting it to the University of Rochester system (orcid.lib.rochester.edu) helps the university report our research activities to bolster our school ranking while also providing benefits for the individual researchers.
An ORCID is a unique personal identifier that connects you to all of your work and professional activities, including grant applications and conference presentations. The information is researcher-controlled, which means you decide what is included and public for others to see.
