Liverpool University Press is pleased to announce its integration with ORCID®, reinforcing our commitment to supporting researchers in receiving attribution for their scholarly contributions. ORCID’s vision is to establish a global network where all individuals engaged in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their work across disciplines, institutions, and time.

ORCID iDs are free for researchers to use.

What is an ORCID iD?

An ORCID iD is used to uniquely identify contributors to scholarly research – as personal names are often not unique and can change throughout the course of a researcher’s lifetime, ORCID seeks to provide a persistent identifier for individuals. It helps researchers, universities and research institutes, funders, and publishers to ensure the correct individuals are credited for their work.

For researchers, an ORCID iD is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities:

• Uniquely Yours: Distinguish yourself and claim credit for your work no matter how many people have your same (or similar) name.
• Portable profile data: Easily share data between your record and funding, publications, data repositories, and other research workflows

This integration ensures that authors receive appropriate recognition for their work and enhances the discoverability of their contributions within the scholarly community.

How to Register and Next Steps

Researchers may register for a free ORCID iD directly on the ORCID website.

Liverpool University Press will ask contributors to provide their ORCID iD once their article goes into production. (For those journals that use a ScholarOne Manuscripts submission site, this can be provided when registering your account/submitting your paper.)

Once an article is published online, each contributor’s ORCID iD will be associated with their article and the ORCID iD logo will appear alongside their name.

Clare Hooper, Director of Journals Publishing at LUP said:

“Liverpool University Press is proud to become ORCID members, we support ORCID’s mission and encourage researchers to take advantage of this valuable tool to enhance the visibility and integrity of their academic work.”

Ivo Wijnbergen, Director of Engagement at ORCID said: 

“We are pleased to welcome Liverpool University Press as an ORCID member organization. By adding publication data to their authors’ ORCID records, LUP is helping to ensure a more robust and trustworthy scholarly record, while both reducing administrative burden and enhancing discoverability for themselves and for their researchers.”
