It provides a distinct and permanent digital identifier that separates you from every other researcher, even those with the same name. Through its integration into key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submissions, ORCID facilitates automatic connections between you, your research outputs, and professional activities, ensuring your work is properly recognized.</p> </div> </div> <div class="intro3"> <p class="blokc_p">Why Should You Use ORCID? </p> <div class="intro_info"> <p class="normal_p">Currently, more than 4.5 million active ORCID iDs are connected to over 30 million different research outputs (publications, datasets, patents, etc.), involving thousands of institutes worldwide <a href="https://orcid.org/statistics" target="_blank" class="normal_link">https://orcid.org/statistics<i class="fas fa-external-link-alt"></i></a></p> <p class="normal_p">Regardless of your field of study or workplace, it's vital for your reputation and career that research and scholarly organizations, funders, publishers, academic societies, and your peers can quickly and unequivocally identify and attribute your work, and only your work, to you. ORCID simplifies the process of reliably linking your unique identity with your contributions such as datasets, journal articles, books, media stories, and patents, even when your name is expressed differently among these records.</p> <p>ORCID gives you ownership of your record of contributions. It allows you to consolidate all your key information in one location, and you control your own privacy settings. This includes deciding what information is displayed publicly, what is shared only with trusted partners, and who these trusted partners are. SciencePG encourages all authors to use ORCID to facilitate the proper attribution and recognition of their work.</p> </div> </div> <div class="intro3"> <p class="blokc_p">How do I Get an ORCID iD?</p> <div class="intro_info"> <div class="li_blcok" style="margin-top: 5px;"> <ul class="clearfix"> <li class="double_box double" style="background: #f3f7ff; border: 1px solid #dce8ff;"> <p class="li_blcok_p1">How to get an ORCID iD</p> <p class="li_blcok_p2">Any author or researcher can obtain their unique ORCID identifier by visiting <a href="https://orcid.org/register" target="_blank" class="normal_link">orcid.org<i class="fas fa-external-link-alt"></i></a> and following the simple registration process.</p> </li> <li class="double_box double" style="background: #f3f7ff; border: 1px solid #dce8ff;"> <p class="li_blcok_p1">Building Your ORCID Record</p> <p class="li_blcok_p2">After registering for an ORCID iD, the next step is to cultivate your ORCID record.
