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.
Scopus is a multidisciplinary abstract and citation database curated by an independent advisory board, covering over 100 million peer-reviewed research records.
It provides search and discovery tools, author and organization profiles, journal metrics, citation analysis, historical content back to 1788, and an AI-powered research assistant.
