ORCID Reaches 10 Million Registered IDs

At the end of 2012, just three months after we launched the ORCID registry, we were thrilled to be able to share that nearly 50,000 researchers had already registered for an iD. Ten months after that, we celebrated the ORCID record growing to nearly 250,000 (with 80 Members!) All told, it took us just a little over two years to grow to 1,000,000 iDs, and nine months after that, in 2015, we hit 1.5 million iDs

Since 2015 we’ve been steadily growing and exceeding even our own high expectations:

– In 2015, the record grew by 788,650 records;

– In 2016, by 1,068,295;

– In 2017, 1,388,796;

– In 2018, it grew by 1,585,851;

– In 2019, by 2,006,672;

– In 2020 (so far), it’s grown by 2,293,631! 

And just last week ORCID hit another major milestone: 10 million registered ORCID iDs! 

Letting researchers do research

We’ve spent the first eight years of ORCID reaching 10 million iDs and are just beginning to explore and understand how researchers are using their records. Whatever we do next, our community can rest assured that the mission of ORCID will remain: keeping the researcher at the center of everything we do to enable transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and their affiliations by providing a unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities.

The most important thing we’ve learned so far is having an open, non-profit, transparently-governed, community-driven effort is the only way to garner enough trust to reach the level of success we have, and we are immensely grateful to our community of researchers, members, and consortia for taking this journey with us.
