Do you...
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, than you might want to create a free ORCID iD!
ORCID is a non-profit organization that provides users with a free, persistent digital identifier that distinguishes them from every other researcher. This is a 16-digit number known as an Open Researcher and Contributor iD (ORCID iD), which is affiliated with a profile that individuals can build and edit. Your ORCID iD ensures interoperability between you and your publisher(s), employer institution(s), and funder(s).
You can register for your free ORCID iD through ORICD @ Pitt. And don't forget to grant trusted status to the University of Pittsburgh!
