ORCiD (Open Researcher & Contributor ID) is an open, non-profit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. ORCID iD distinguish individuals with common names, and are not affected by name changes, cultural differences in name order, inconsistent abbreviations, or the use of different alphabets.
Works from HeinOnline are visible on your ORCiD author page, and works on your ORCiD author page will appear on your HeinOnline Author Profile.
Why is this important?
Authors who do interdisciplinary work, publish in journals outside of traditional law reviews, or have published books need an ORCiD record to make sure these works appear in their HeinOnline Author Profile.
If you do not have an ORCID iD, you can create one through your HeinOnline Author Profile page. To find your HeinOnline Author Profile Page, do a simple author search using your name in HeinOnline, and select the link.
