Graduate Students Encouraged to Register for ORCID iD
Laney Graduate School encourages all graduate students to register for a free
ORCID iD
,
a unique identifier that ensures you are always correctly associated and connected with your academic work. An ORCID iD helps keep your research record accurate if you have a common name, if you decide to change your name, or if you publish under different versions of your name. ORCID iDs are now required by numerous publishers and granting agencies such as
the NIH
,
so it benefits you to register for an ORCID iD and use it in the earliest stages of your academic/publishing career.
Emory Libraries have a comprehensive new guide
that explains what ORCID is and why you should trust it. You can get an ORCID iD by following this very simple and quick process.
Please contact
Jody Bailey
or
Emory Libraries Scholarly Communications Office
if you have any questions.
