ORCID is a global, nonprofit service that gives researchers a unique and persistent identifier (an “ORCID iD”) to distinguish themselves. Whether your name changes, you move institutions, or publish across different fields, your ORCID iD stays with you and connects you to all your outputs and affiliations.
Why ORCID is essential
- Clear author identification: no more name confusion
- Stronger discoverability: your work is easier to find and connect
- Less admin: auto-populate submission data from ORCID profile
- Trusted identity: verified profiles strengthen research integrity
How Openjournals supports you
At Openjournals, we fully integrate ORCID into our publishing workflow:
- Easy author verification and connection during submission
- Automatic linking of ORCID iD to publications
- Better metadata for indexing and visibility
- Support for adding ORCID retroactively to publications
By embedding ORCID into our platform, we ensure a smoother publication workflow while enhancing the trustworthiness and visibility of research. Not using ORCID yet? Register for free at orcid.org and connect your iD to your next Openjournals submission.
