| ORCID | - ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that you own and control, and that distinguishes you from every other researcher.
- You can connect your iD with your professional information — affiliations, grants, publications, peer review, and more.
- You can use your iD to share your information with other systems, ensuring you get recognition for all your contributions, saving you time and hassle, and reducing the risk of error
- University of Windsor belongs to the ORCID-CA consortium, through Leddy Library
- Please visit Leddy's ORCID Help Guide for assistance creating and populating your profile
