Have you ever been confused for someone else? How can you ensure that your research and achievements can be distinguished from those of other researchers with similar names? Can you showcase all your publications and other relevant academic information online for better visibility? If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, this program is perfect for you!

This short video program introduces you to ORCID (Open Research and Contributor Identifier), a non-profit, community-based initiative aimed at creating unique identifiers for researchers across organizations, disciplines, and geographies. Through this course, you will understand the benefits of having an ORCID iD and why it’s recommended for research authors to distinguish their work and achievements from others. You will also get a brief overview of how you can sign up and get your own identifier to create a unique researcher profile for yourself. Perfect for international authors and those starting out in academic publishing, this program shows you how to use ORCID to manage research workflows like journal and grant submission, maintain an updated online record with trusted information regarding your research activities, and facilitate a global integrated research community!
