- Learn more about how you and your article can be discoverable
A huge number of research articles are published every year, so make sure others can find your published article. There are several ways to make your article (and you) more discoverable from selecting the right keywords to making sure you are identifiable with an ORCiD.
- Make sure you register for an ORCiD and associate it to your manuscript when you submit
An ORCiD is a digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher. It ensures you and your research activities can be easily identified, meaning you get the credit for all the work you do. It’s free and takes just 30 seconds to do.
