Let's create your ORCID?

Scientific research has been thriving in recent years, thanks to various tools that have emerged to address common issues. The Internet, in particular, has facilitated global collaboration among researchers in various fields of science. However, identifying researchers efficiently remains a challenge due to similar names, spelling errors, and name swaps. To solve this problem, international institutions are adopting the use of ORCID.

ORCID, or Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a global initiative that aims to provide unique and persistent identifiers for researchers and academic professionals. This unique identifier unequivocally distinguishes an individual in the context of scientific and academic research. Researchers can create and manage their ORCID profile by adding information about their academic background, institutional affiliations, publications, funding, and other contributions to research. ORCID registration is voluntary, easy, quick, and free.

Having an ORCID profile is crucial for those planning to pursue a career in scientific production. If you're interested in creating your own ORCID profile, simply access the website https://orcid.org/register and follow the registration steps. You'll find that creating a profile is a simple process that takes only a few minutes.
