Open Research and Contributor ID (ORCID)
An ensures your research gets credited to you, and connects your work with a broader research toolkit.
Creating an ORCID account and connecting it to the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ system (orcid.lib.rochester.edu) helps the university report our research activities to bolster our school ranking while also providing benefits for the individual researchers.
An ORCID is a unique personal identifier that connects you to all of your work and professional activities, including grant applications and conference presentations. The information is researcher-controlled, which means you decide what is included and public for others to see.
