Manage Your Author Identity with ORCID
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is an international registry of persistent digital identifiers to connect authors and creators to all their research and scholarly works. The ORCID identifier helps to solve the problems of common names, misattributions, and multiple affiliations over a career. This workshop will help you get registered and start populating your ORCID account. We will also look at two other popular researcher identifiers that work with ORCID: Author Identifier from Scopus and ResearcherID that integrates with Web of Science.
