ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier (the ORCID iD) that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.
Registering for an ORCID iD (or connecting one to your Illinois NetID) is a quick process (approx. 30 seconds) that can be initiated by clicking on the button below. Note that, if you have an existing ORCID iD, you will be asked to enter either your 16-digit iD or an email that is currently associated with the iD.
The registration process will look similar to one of the options below, depending on whether:
you are registering for a new ORCID iD (example A), or
you already have an ORCID iD and are connecting it to your NetID (example B).
Create a password for your ORCID record, select the desired visibility setting, and agree to ORCID’s terms of use.
(optional—link your NetID to your ORCID record) Return to the ORCID sign-in screen (https://orcid.org/login) and select “Institutional account”. Search for University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
On the ORCID sign-in screen, select “Institutional account” and search for University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
