MIT has associated ORCID identifiers with current scholars at MIT, including faculty, graduate students, postdocs, research staff, and instructional staff.  

ORCID at MIT takes a coordinated approach:

• Provost office: responsible for ORCID creation process and policies and integration with MIT's electronic professional record
• IS&T: Supports automated ORCID registration and integration with MIT identifier systems 
• Libraries: Supports writing, publishing, and citation management

For more information about the past rollout see this article in the Faculty Newsletter.

• ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a non-proprietary, non-profit community-based registry of research identifiers.
• Links authors to their datasets and other works in addition to articles.
• Authors can control what information in their ORCID profile they share. Only the ORCID ID is automatically shared. (See ORCID's privacy policy.)
• It is easy to import research output from other sources (including ResearcherID, Scopus Author ID, and Datacite Metadata Store to your ORCID profile. (See ORCID's import works page.)
• Many organizations and publishers integrate with ORCID including Nature Publishing Group, Elsevier, and the American Physical Society. See a complete list of integrators.
• Registration is free, privacy-protected, and quick. Go to ORCID's registration page.
