I am a student or research assistant — should I get an ORCID iD?
Yes, an ORCID iD can be useful for students and research assistants as well as faculty. Creating an ORCID iD early lets researchers begin building a scholarly profile that can stay with them across projects, programs, and institutions. As new publications and other research outputs are added over time, there is less need to reconstruct that record later.
If you contribute to research projects, publications, posters, data, or other scholarly work, ORCID can help you keep that work connected to you over time. It can also work alongside CRediT contributor roles to help make your specific contributions more visible.
