An ORCID stands for 'Open Researcher and Contributor ID'. The ORCID provides a unique number to researchers free of cost, which is used to mention their works on ORCID’s database. This is a vibrant platform for researchers as it extends several benefits that make it the most important part of their research journey. This is a lifelong digital identifier; meaning that the work will always stay under the author’s name and can always be accessed, even if the author leaves the research field later on. It connects the author's existing work with existing databases and the author has all his/her works at one place. It ensures that the author's work is freely available to global academia.
