ORCID identification

What is ORCID iD?

ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a global non-profit organization. Its main mission is to provide a unique identifier (known as ORCID iD) to anyone engaged in research, as well as mechanisms for linking research outputs to this identifier. ORCID is integrated into many systems used by publishers, funders, institutions and other research-related services.

Why and how Traffic Safety Research collects ORCID iDs

Traffic Safety Research collects ORCID iDs to make sure that authors, reviewers, and editors are correctly identified. For example, it helps guarding your name from potential misuse like when it is added to the author list without consent. Published articles and submitted reviews are ‘pushed’ to your ORCID record, helping to keep it up-to-date with your latest achievements and contributions.

We strongly recommend connecting your ORCID iD to your journal user profile.

How to connect ORCID iD to journal user profile

To create the connection, you have to identify yourself by signing in through the ORCID authorization dialogue. The login details are handled by ORCID and are not viewed or stored by the journal.

  1. Log in to the journal system. If you do not know your password, you can reset it here.

  2. Select ‘Edit Profile’ from the menu in the upper-right corner.

  3. Under the  ‘Identity’ tab, press ‘Create or Connect your ORCID iD’.

  4. You will be redirected to the ORCID login page. Follow the instructions to complete the process.
