A persistent identifier (PID) is a long-lasting reference to a digital resource. Unlike URLs, which may break, a persistent identifier reliably points to a digital entity.
An ORCID iD is an example of a persistent identifier for a person. ORCID works closely with many other PID organizations to build trusted connections between ORCID iDs and other identifiers.
This resource focuses on ORCID and persistent identifiers for journals, and organizations that they work with.
