RESEARCH FUNDING
For research funders, including professional and scholarly associations, ORCID can unambiguously link researchers to their research and the funding programmes that provided support. Understanding the impact of funding is a vital input into future funding strategy and funding programme design.
RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS
For research organizations—universities, research companies, national laboratories, membership organizations—ORCID can reduce the time-consuming process of maintaining up-to-date records, and provides a validation step with updates from trusted sources.
PUBLISHING
For publishers, including societies, ORCID can streamline the manuscript submission process, improve the management of author and reviewer databases, and improve the accuracy of name-based article repository searches.
