Manage Your ORCID iD

You can connect or unlink your ORCID iD to your Research Exchange Submission account in several ways:
  • When logging in to Research Exchange Submission.
  • If you are the co-author of a manuscript you did not submit and receive an email invitation to connect your ORCID iD.
  • From the My ORCID iD page.
  • During submission or revision, in the Author Details submission step, if you are submitting to a journal that collects author ORCID information.
The important things to know are that:
  • Research Exchange Submission accounts are powered by the CONNECT login system.
  • Your ORCID iD is associated with your Research Exchange Submission / CONNECT account overall, and not, for example, a single submission.
  • You can connect your ORCID iD with a single Research Exchange Submission / CONNECT account at a time.
  • Connecting or unlinking your ORCID iD to or from your Research Exchange Submission account means that you are also doing this for your CONNECT account. So if you use CONNECT with multiple publishers' submission systems, your ORCID iD will be added to or removed from those systems as well.
  1. To connect your ORCID iD, do the following:

    Navigate to the area in Research Exchange Submission where you can begin the process.

    The required steps differ depending on the area:

    • On the login screen, click ORCID.
    • If you received an invitation email, click Connect your ORCID iD in the email and then, in Research Exchange Submission, on the Submission Overview page, click Connect ORCID iD, and then, on the My ORCID iD page, Create or connect your ORCID iD.
    • To do so from the My ORCID iD page, click your name in the upper right, and then My ORCID iD.

      The My ORCID iD button on the profile menu.

      Then click Create or connect your ORCID iD.


      The Create or connect your ORCID iD button on the My ORCID iD tab.

    • During submission or revision, if the journal collects author ORCID information, the Author Details submission step will include a Connect your ORCID iD section. In this section, click Create or connect your ORCID iD.

    You will be redirected to an ORCID login page, where you can enter your ORCID credentials or create a new ORCID iD.

    If your ORCID iD is already connected with another Research Exchange Submission / CONNECT account, you will be prompted to choose which account it should be connected with moving forward.

    The dialog that prompts you to choose which Research Exchange Submission account should be associated with the ORCID iD.
    Important: As explained above, your choice here impacts any accounts you have on other publishers' systems.

    Once you have successfully entered your ORCID credentials, you will be redirected back to the Research Exchange Submission page you were previously viewing, or trying to get to:

    • If you were logging in to Research Exchange Submission, you will be redirected to the My Submissions page.
    • If you started the process by clicking a link in an email invitation, you will be redirected to the My ORCID iD page.
    • If you used the My ORCID iD page, you will be redirected back to that page.
    • If you clicked a link in the Author Details submission step, you will return to that step.
  2. To unlink your ORCID iD, do one of the following:
    • From the My ORCID iD page, click your name in the upper right, then My ORCID iD, then Unlink.
    • From the Author Details submission step, click Connect your ORCID iD > Unlink.
