As a researcher, it is important that you are recognised for all the work you produce. ORCiD is a way to keep all your publications together.
To make sure you are correctly identified and that your publications are all bound together, you can add you ORCiD iD number when you submit your publications to journals, when applying for funding, when adding outputs to our institutional repository (SURE).
It keeps all your work and research activity together and avoids confusion between authors or complications due to name changes.
