What is ORCID? (from the ORCID website: (http://orcid.org): ORCID is an open, non-profit,
community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent
method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. ORCID is unique in its
ability to reach across disciplines, research sectors, and national boundaries and its cooperation
with other identifier systems. To see more about ORCID and what it is, go here:

Why use ORCID? A: To uniquely identify you and your work. ASCE will eventually be able to
send your ORCID information with your manuscript when it is published. You and others will be
able to track your work using the ORCID database.
