7. DISPLAY: PRESENTING ORCID IN YOUR SYSTEM

Display ORCID iDs

Researchers want to know that using their iD in your system has had some effect. The best way to signal that the collected iD is actually put to use is to display it - in your web applications, in publications, with funding awards, etc.

For authenticated iD's show the iD icon followed by the full iD URI, linked to the iD URI:

ORCID iDhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097

For more details, see our Trademark and iD Display Guidelines

You can also just show the iD icon next to the researcher's name as seen in the screenshot below.
