Open Researcher & Contributor ID (ORCID)

What is ORCID?
It is an open, non-profit, community-driven initiative helping to create a world in which all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions and affiliations, across disciplines, borders, and time.

Why should I connect my ORCID ID to my SUNet ID?

  • ORCID iDs are increasingly required by funders and publishers. Connecting your ORCID iD with your SUNet ID will allow you to enter data once (such as Stanford Profiles) and have it automatically flow to other places (like your ORCID record).
  • Use the SUNet/ORCID connector to connect your ORCID ID to your SUNet ID. *Please note the checkbox for authorizing syncing with Stanford Profiles.
