Ensuring your online presence and increasing your visibility on the web is essential to promote the discoverability of your publications. In this process, it is important to manage and control your digital identity to protect the security of your personal and professional data. For this, it is essential that each researcher has an ORCID and/or a ResearcherID , on which it is possible to build a personal list of publications for public or private use.

ResearcherID.com and ORCID.org are platforms designed for researchers to provide them with a permanent digital identifier that distinguishes them from all other researchers. By integrating these identifiers into key research tasks, such as submitting a manuscript or applying for funding, you can automatically create links between yourself and your professional activities, ensuring your work is recognized.

Here are the good reasons to create your researcher ID:

1. Have a unique, permanent and universal identifier free of charge;

2. Put an end to confusion over author names in publications;

3. Rely on the international non-profit organization ORCID.org;

4. Manage your identity through your personal space in the ORCID registry;

5. Control access to your ORCID identity information;

6. Use your username to respond to a call for projects or a grant application;

7. Use your username to submit an article;

8. Be more easily spotted by your peers;

9. Be distinguished in databases;

10. Be more visible on social networks.

We therefore strongly encourage you to create your researcher ID on these platforms to maximize the visibility and recognition of your work.
