ORCID is an excellent scientific identity card. There is a lot to be found in it, e.g. grants, publications, peer reviews. You immediately know who you are dealing with if someone wants to work with you or apply to you. Dhr. dr. Teun Munnik

As a scientist you deal with various systems where you store your research data, upload publications and register them. In addition, you want to be able to easily generate an overview of the articles published by you for yourself or for others. The University Library of Amsterdam collaborates with other university libraries to make researchers aware of the usefulness of an ORCID registration.

ORCID provides a unique and persistent identifier for researchers and scholars. It connects researchers with their research activities throughout their career.

ORCID distinguishes researchers with a common name or have publications under multiple aliases (e.g. Dutch prefixes, married/maiden name). Therefore, it provides the means to reliably identify researchers, regardless of the name similarity, name and discipline changes. An ORCID profile can list the institutions that you have worked at, the funding you received, the publications you have authored and the details of any peer reviews you have provided.
