What is ORCID?

ORCID provides researchers with a unique identifier (an ORCID iD ) plus a mechanism for linking their research outputs and activities to their ORCID iD.

ORCID is integrated into many systems used by publishers, funders, institutions, and other research-related services.

You can learn more about ORCID by watching the Why ORCID? video or visiting their website.

Connect your ORCID iD with your CoMSES Net account

CoMSES Net would like to collect your ORCID iD for use in our systems. You can connect your CoMSES Net account with ORCID and authorize the collection and use of your ORCID iD in our systems when you first sign up as a new CoMSES Net member using your ORCID iD, or by editing your account profile and clicking on the Connect your ORCID account link in the Social Authentication and Membership section.

Why register your ORCID iD?

Your ORCID iD:

• distinguishes you and ensures your research outputs and activities are correctly attributed to you
• reliably and easily connects you with your contributions and affiliations
• reduces form-filling: enter data once and re-use it often
• improves recognition and discoverability for you and your research outputs
• is interoperable: it works with many institutions, funders, and publishers
• is persistent: you can use it throughout your research career
• will allow us to integrate your publications, computational models, and research interests with your ORCID record

An ORCID iD is also a requirement of many journal manuscript submission systems and grant application forms.
