Benefits for Researchers
Verified Identity: vORCID adds an extra layer of trust to your profile, assuring publishers and fellow researchers of the authenticity of your identity. Researchers can verify their ORCID by uploading a personal ID, which enhances their credibility and recognition in the academic community.
Lifelong Identity: Researchers can create a vORCID email address e.g. [email protected] which forwards to their personal or current affiliation address, providing a professional contact point linked to their research identity. Authors can use this email address in their publications.
Increased Visibility: Researchers receive a permanent personalized homepage from vORCID, showcasing their academic contributions and enhancing their visibility. Integrate your social media feeds and use your vORCID homepage as a hub to discuss your research!
Showcase research integrity and contributions: The vORCID platform calculates a ‘social researcher score’ (similar to a credit score) based on researchers’ contributions such as peer-reviewing and editing manuscripts, offering a comprehensive representation of their academic contributions (OSCAR – Open Science Contributions, Accomplishments, Rigor).
Additional Credentials: Researchers have access to e-learning courses and can earn additional credentials, including ‘how to peer-review’ and research ethics courses, supporting their professional development. Some publishers and institutions may require specific credentials!
