Have you ever thought how many different versions of your name have you used to sign projects throughout your professional career? Probably over one. Its consequence is that your production within the data basis may be disperse under as many name versions has you have used. A solution for this common problem is proposed by ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) ORCID is a persistent identifier which allows the resolution of ambiguity and diplicity name problems

Once the identifier has been linked to all the research activity, it becomes easier to know which are the activities being developed; even if the name which appears is not always the same.

Additionally, it allows to differentiate researchers with the same or similar names. Hence, it allows to find all of an author’s work when browsing it on the Internet; it definitely helps to increase the projects’ visibility too.

Obtaining an ORCID identifier is free and fast.

And remember, if you have a RODERIC profile, send us your identifier so that it can appear in ORCID
