Wikidata:ORCID

Wikidata editors who have an ORCID iD (Q51044) identifier may add it to their user page, using the {{Authority control}} template. Anyone may register for an ORCID identifier, free, at http://orcid.org/ - ORCID is an open, non-profit organisation.

ORCID IDs can also be added to Wikidata items, using ORCID iD (P496).

To use ORCID IDs in articles and user pages in Wikipedias or sister projects see en:Wikipedia:ORCID.

For assistance, please contact ORCID's Wikipedian in Residence, Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing).
