Creating and Using Your ORCID Profile: Home

1. Offers a unique author identifier that is widely used and recognized
   • Some pay-for-use databases (WoS, Scopus) have AuIDs for the articles they index only
   • Others like Google Scholar, ResearchGate, PubMed don’t have AuIDs
2. Allows an author to easily collect ALL their publications from multiple sources
   • WoS, Scopus, PubMed only have their specific set of indexed journals
   • Google Scholar, ResearchGate do this but don’t meet criteria 1 or 3
3. Can be imported directly into NIH/NSF’s SciENcv Biosketches NOW
   • No other external, non-government funding agency sources available
   • This may change in the future, but right now, ORCiD is the only option.
