ORCID: A non-profit name disambiguation and online presence site for academics. From the website: “ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary, open, non-proprietary, and not-for-profit organization created by the research community for the benefit of all stakeholders, including you and the organizations that support the research ecosystem. ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that distinguishes you from other researchers and a record that supports automatic links among all your professional activities. Your ORCID iD and connections are stored in the ORCID Registry, in an account you own and manage.”
Many journals and grant foundations now require an ORCID in order to submit papers and applications.
The institutional log-in for Worcester Polytechnic Institute is NOT available at this time due to technical incompatibility between systems. Therefore, you cannot choose the "Access Through Your Institution" log-in option where you would select Worcester Polytechnic Institute from the drop-down menu. You will need to set up a personal ORCID site log-in.
