ORCID registration
What is ORCID? ![](https://journals.sub.uni-hamburg.de/hup2/public/site/images/ojsadmin/orcid-icon-100.png)
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.
Detailed information on the registration process, advantages and options for linking and active use can be found on the ORCID information page of this journal, at ORCID.org or in the official ORCID Video.
How and why we collect your ORCID iD?
This journal is collecting your ORCID iD to allow readers of your publication to uniquely identify you and to provide access to your research output via your ORCID profile (publication list). During the submission process of your publication, we will ask you in the ORCID popup window, to share your iD using an authenticated process:
(A) Register for an ORCID iD and granting us permission to receive your ORCID iD. (Important: Just register once!)
(B) Sign into your ORCID account and granting us permission to get your ORCID iD.
We do this to ensure that you are correctly identified and your ORCID iD is connected with your publication.
Where and how is my ORCID iD displayed within the journal?
Your ORCID iD is displayed next to your name on the article page of your publication after successful authentication.
The iD icon contains the hyperlink to your individual ORCID profile.
