Why ORCID is Crucial for Your Academic Career
One identifier connects you across millions of research publications, organizations, funding applications, and repository servers. Never lose credit due to name variants or institutional changes.
Disambiguation & Credit
Are there other researchers with a name similar to yours? ORCID cleanly separates your output from other scholars worldwide. No more misattributed citations.
Auto-Sync Integrations
Link your ORCID record to Crossref, Scopus, and Web of Science. Publishers will automatically push published articles to your record without manual typing.
Funder Mandates
Major public research funding bodies require ORCID IDs during proposal submission. Linking pre-populates biosketches, saving you hours of administration.

Synchronized Metadata Pipeline Explained
When you submit your manuscript to a publisher, you input your validated ORCID identifier. Upon publication, the journal registers your article details with Crossref or Scopus. These registries automatically push the publication title, abstract, and DOI link into your verified ORCID account. Instantly, our East Capital Library system polls the ORCID API, importing the citation directly into our institutional repository. You never have to manually enter the citation again.

Yes, ORCID is 100% free for researchers and will remain free forever. It is a non-profit global community registry. Your identifier is designed to persist throughout your lifetime, following you even if you transfer to another university or transition outside academia.
You have absolute granular control over who sees what. For every entry on your ORCID record, you can select one of three settings: Everyone (public to all), Trusted Parties (visible to systems you explicitly authorize, like East Capital), or Only Me (private archive).
Log into your ORCID account, navigate to the "Works" section, click on "Add Works", then select "Search & Link". From the drop-down menu, choose "Scopus - Elsevier" or "Web of Science" and complete the prompt authorization flow.
This is where ORCID excels! Under the "Also known as" section of your profile, you can list all previous names, spelling variations, and middle initials. Even if your published articles feature different name structures, they will all map back to your same single ORCID iD.
