Every researcher can personally register for an ORCID iD and use it throughout the research process, e.g. when applying for research projects or submitting publications. TU Dortmund University Library provides advice on the optimal use of ORCID iD and offers an integration of data form your ORCID record to your personal publication lists as well as importing publication data into your ORCID record.
