About
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is an open, non-proprietary registry that provides unique persistent identifiers for researchers and scholars, enabling them to distinguish their identity and connect their work across systems.
It assigns a 16-digit ORCID iD to each user, allows individuals to manage a personal record with publications, affiliations, and funding, and offers a public API and registry search for interoperability across research platforms.
Scite is an AI-powered research platform that helps researchers discover and evaluate scientific literature through citation analysis.
It provides Smart Citations that classify each citation, full-text search across over 300 million papers including paywalled content, an AI assistant grounded in peer-reviewed sources, reports and collections that track citation accumulation, a reference checker for manuscripts, and an MCP server that connects the platform to Claude, 
ChatGPT, Copilot, and Cursor.
