ORCID

We recommend registering with ORCID and providing an ORCID iD when publishing an article. However, this is not obligatory for the publication of an article in apropos [Perspektiven auf die Romania]. You can also publish in apropos without an ORCID iD.

ORCID is an independent non-profit organization that provides a persistent identifier for scientists of all research disciplines world wide – an ORCID iD. This Open Researcher and Contributor iD distinguishes you from other researchers and links your research outputs and activities permanently to your iD.
ORCID is already integrated into many systems used by publishers, funders, institutions, and other research-related services. Learn more at ORCID.org or in the official ORCID video:
