Open Researcher and Contributor ID - ORCID

What is ORCID?

Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is a unique persistent digital identifier connecting researcher and research. According to DTU’s Publication Policy all researchers at DTU must obtain an ORCID and add it to their publications.

Why ORCID?

With a unique researcher ID like ORCID confusion due to name ambiguity, special characters, and abbreviations can be avoided. ORCID follows the researcher regardless of place of work, research field, job title, and name changes. ORCID also brings together research and research activities in one place.
