orcid membership

Any non-profit research organization in the US can become an ORCID premium consortium member through the ORCID US Community at a substantially reduced rate of $4300 per calendar year. This membership fee can be pro-rated for new members joining mid-year. Premium membership is the highest level of ORCID membership. To request a quote and become a member, contact orcidus@lyrasis.org.

ORCID US Membership Benefits

While it is free for researchers to create their individual ORCID iD record, membership is needed for institutions to fully take advantage of the ORCID ecosystem. Membership benefits to a research institution include:

Access to 5 Premium Member ORCID API keys for connecting multiple enterprise systems with the ORCID registry. Integration of systems with the ORCID API allows institutions to:

Authenticate, connect, read, and update associated researchers’ ORCID iD records
Assert ownership of organization name(s) for consistent, trusted, and valid affiliations with researchers
Maintain connections with researchers across time, disciplines, and borders
Ease administrative burden with faster, automated information sharing via interoperability

Monthly analytics reports
Monthly ORCID Member Newsletter

Access to dedicated tier 1 technical and community support
Participation in a growing national and international community developing best practices, knowledge, and skills in research and scholarly communication management, including access to the ORCID US Members-Only Discussion Forum

Member Responsibilities

To get the most value from ORCID, members should use the ORCID API to integrate ORCID into their systems (5 API keys are included in the ORCID US member benefits), and to assert affiliations onto individuals' ORCID iD records. Successful integrations take planning and time.
