An ORCID is a unique identifier which allows you to distinguish yourself from other researchers throughout your career. ORCIDs are free to create and enable authoritative links to be created between you and your research activities (e.g. research outputs, funding data, employment history). 

Registration to ORCID is free and will mean that your research outputs can be tagged and tracked more easily throughout your career. ORCIDs are now routinely being requested by publishers and funders and it is therefore important that all researchers create an ORCID and make it available to the University.

Further ORCID information can be found on our website.

Alternatively, you can contact the team directly.
