Why an ORCiD? Why a researcher profile? 

ORCiD provides a unique, personal identification number (like a DOI, but for you as an author) as well as the option to have a publicly available web profile highlighting your professional activities. An ORCiD is useful for many reasons:

• Many funding agencies require it. 
• Journals often require authors to submit their ORCiDs with their manuscripts – in fact, some journals accept ORCiD login in as part of their submission process. 
• ORCiD numbers can be useful for ensuring all of your work is attributed to you, and not someone with a similar name. 
• You can use ORCiD to feed and display your research on your faculty website, lab, etc. 
• Your public profile can be adjusted to reflect publications, grant awards, and other professional contributions that you want to highlight for prospective employers, funders, or collaborators.
