ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a unique identifier that distinguishes individual researchers and scholars in the academic and scientific community. It provides a persistent digital identifier that links researchers with their scholarly works, affiliations, and contributions across different research platforms and databases.

1. Researchers register for an ORCID iD, which is a unique 16-digit identifier.
2. They use their ORCID iD when submitting manuscripts, applying for grants, or publishing research outputs.
3. ORCID iDs are integrated into various research systems and platforms, allowing researchers to automatically populate their profiles with their publications, affiliations, and other scholarly activities.
4. Researchers can manage their ORCID profiles, add new works, and grant permissions to organizations to update their records.
