ORCID id

How to get an ORCID iD

How do I register for an ORCID?

  1. Go to ORCID to register and receive an iD.

    1. You will need to enter at least your first name (last name is optional)

    2. Enter your personal (non-Muhlenberg) email address as the ‘primary’ email- that will ensure that you never lose access to your ORCID account.

    3. Enter your Muhlenberg email address too, so you get updates!

  2. As part of your registration, you will also set your security and notification preferences as well as the ‘visibility’ of your information.

  3. Once you’ve received your ORCID iD, add your position title and affiliation to Muhlenberg to your ORCID record. (You can also add previous affiliations, or memberships to scholarly associations, etc.)

  4. Use "Account Settings" to manage your privacy preferences.

Please let us know when you’ve set up your ORCID iD so we can add it to your local author works and help you link to your publications.
