ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a non- profit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. Together with other persistent identifiers for scholarly works such as digital object identifiers (DOIs) and identifiers for organizations, ORCID makes research more discoverable. It helps ensure that one's grants, publications and outputs are correctly attributed. It helps the research community not just in aggregating publications, but in every stage of research, viz. publishing, reviewing, profiling, metrics, accessing and archiving. Funding agencies in Austria, Australia, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden and the UK, and the world's leading scholarly publishers and associations have integrated their systems with ORCID registry. Among the BRICS countries, China and South Africa are adopting ORCID avidly. India is yet to make a beginning. If research councils and funding agencies in India require researchers to adopt ORCID and link ORCID iDs to funding as well as tracking performance, it will help them keep track of the workflow. Journal editors can also keep track of contributions made by different authors and work assigned to different reviewers through their ORCID iDs.
开放研究者与贡献者识别码（ORCID）是一项由社区推动的非营利性活动，旨在创建并维护一个独特研究者识别码的注册库，以及一种将研究活动和成果与这些识别码相链接的透明方法。与数字对象识别码（DOI）等其他学术作品的永久识别码以及组织识别码一起，ORCID使研究成果更易于被发现。它有助于确保某人的资助、出版物及成果得到正确归属。它不仅有助于研究社区汇总出版物，还在研究的各个阶段发挥作用，即出版、评审、剖析、计量、获取和存档。奥地利、澳大利亚、丹麦、葡萄牙、瑞典和英国的资助机构，以及全球领先的学术出版商和协会，都已将其系统与ORCID注册库集成。在金砖国家中，中国和南非正在积极采用ORCID。印度尚未起步。如果印度的研究理事会和资助机构要求研究人员采用ORCID，并将ORCID识别码与资助及绩效跟踪相链接，这将有助于他们跟踪工作流程。期刊编辑也可以通过研究人员的ORCID识别码跟踪不同作者的贡献以及分配给不同审稿人的工作。
