ORCID Memberships are for organizations

If you’re an individual researcher, you do NOT need a membership. Researchers are the heart of everything ORCID does and will always have access to the following features for free:

An ORCID iD! Learn how to register for, maintain, and share your ORCID iD (and associated ORCID record data).

Updates to your ORCID record (e.g., links to published manuscripts in which they included their ORCID iD during the submission and review process)

Participation in current or upcoming Steering Groups and Working Groups

Participation in ORCID-hosted virtual and in-person community events.
