ORCID: Open Researcher and Contributor ID

An identifier system that will distinguish between authors who share the same name. ORCID aims to reliably attribute research out-puts to their true author by assigning every scientist on the planet a machine-readable, 16-digit unique digital identifier. 

Instead of filling out personal details on countless electronic forms associated with submitting papers or applying for grants, a researcher could also simply type in his or her ORCID number. Various fields would be completed automatically by pulling in data from other authorized sources, such as databases of papers, citations, grants and contact details. ORCID does not intend to offer such services itself; the idea is that other organizations will use the open-access ORCID database to build their own services.

Individual researchers will be able to get an ORCID number for free as of later this year, whereas universities, companies and other organizations will pay tiered-subscription charges.
