ORCID maintains a list of institutions and organizations with established ORCID programmes in place or in progress. These ORCID adopters include:
Publishers and Presses, Research institutions, Funding Agencies, Learned societies and professional associations, Scholarly Sharing Service providers and many major Research Universities around the world.
"ORCID aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in research and scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers and an open and transparent linking mechanism between ORCID and other current researcher ID schemes. These identifiers, and the relationships among them, can be linked to the researcher's output to enhance the scientific discovery process and to improve the efficiency of research funding and collaboration within the research community."

ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID) is a registry of unique identifiers for researchers and scholars that is open, non-profit, transparent, mobile and community-based.
ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other contributor and supports automated linkages among all your professional activities.
ORCID provides two core functions:
The ORCID Registry is available free of charge to individuals, who may obtain an ORCID identifier, manage their record of activities, and search for others in the Registry.
