ORCID Tipp: Verify your ORCID profile with Trust Markers

ORCID records have an important role to play in helping uphold the integrity of research since the data in them can be shared widely and re-used within a growing number of scholarly workflows.

Your ORCID record will likely contain “Trust Markers” such as validated affiliations added by universities and research institutions, validated funding awards added by funders, or validated works added by publishers.

These trust markers can help viewers know that your record belongs to someone who is associated with a research organization and that they can be more confident about its contents.

You can add Trust Markers to your own record yourself by simply verifying your institutional email address (via the verified email domain, or the part of the email address after the “@”). This means you can demonstrate your association with your institution in a way that preserves your privacy — no need to share your entire email address with the public!
