ORCID (Open Research and Contributor ID) is a unique identifier whose main purpose is to provide researchers with a persistent and unequivocal author code that clearly distinguishes their scientific production and avoids confusion related to scientific authorship and the existence of coinciding or similar personal names. The ORCID ID of a researcher will always be the same, thus overcoming linguistic aspects, institutional affiliation and incidences linked to the standardization of the scientific signature. ORCID also provides a place to register papers and other data, from where to share them and interoperable with other identification systems (ResearchID, ScopusID, etc.). It is an open, non-profit, global initiative, supported by major stakeholders and research institutions such as CERN and MIT. The ORCID researcher identifier is composed of 16 digits and has a url structure. Its use is becoming a requirement in research calls as well as in publication and scientific communication processes.
