Each author can create an ORCID account and connect it to their publications.This new functionality is part of High Integration of Research Monographs in the European Open Science Infrastructure (HIRMEOS), an European project that aims to enrich and enhance five European open access publication platforms in the human and social sciences.Why sign up to ORCID?
