CITI Program offers the option to connect your ORCiD ID to your CITI Program profile. ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a unique identifier assigned to researchers and scholars to help distinguish their work and contributions from those of others with similar names. Researchers and scholars can use this standardized, persistent digital identifier across various systems and platforms.
Persistent and Portable
The ORCID iD remains the same regardless of changes in the researcher’s name, affiliation, or location. This persistence ensures that a researcher’s work is associated with a single, stable identity.
Profile Management
Researchers can create and maintain a public ORCID profile that includes their professional activities, publications, affiliations, and other contributions. This profile is visible to anyone and helps build a comprehensive record of their work.
Collaboration and Networking
By providing a clear and consistent identity, ORCID helps facilitate collaboration between researchers and institutions and ensures that all contributions are correctly attributed.
Institutional and Funders’ Use
Many organizations and funding bodies use ORCID to track and manage research outputs and grants, making it easier for researchers to comply with reporting requirements and institutional policies.
Open and Non-Profit
ORCID is a non-profit organization that provides the service for free to researchers. It operates as an open and community-driven system, promoting transparency and accessibility in research.
