Distinguish Yourself with an Open Researcher ORCID iD

Faculty, instructors and graduate students are invited to attend drop-in training sessions on setting up and populating an ORCID account.

Many journal publishers and funding agencies now require or encourage authors to apply for publication or funding with an ORCID iD. In fact, over 80 publishers – including IEEE, Sage and Wiley – require it for the submission of papers.

ORCID iDs allow for authors and scholarly work to be easily found within a global network of researchers.
