How is ORCID different from other identifers?
Answer
ORCID is not a social media platform, nor a profile system, nor an online CV or content repository; however, it connects with many other tools that fulfill these functions. ORCID provides an identifier for individuals to use with their name as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. An ORCID iD can be linked to a Scopus Author ID, ResearcherID, or ISNI.
