Signing up for an ORCID iD is free and takes only a few minutes. Your ORCID iD distinguishes you from other researchers. Contributing your professional information to your ORCID iD will allow you to quickly reuse this information in other systems.

After registering the first time, you can sign in with your ORCID credentials or you can select Institutional account to log in with your USC network username and password. The first time you log in with the Institutional account option, you'll be asked to link your ORCID account.
