Author ID codes
For authors of scholar content, Author ID codes are becoming ever more important in order to eliminate false reports on scientific activity and they help quickly identifying a paper of yours.
For this purpose, I am using three different Author ID systems. The first of these is ORCID and it is less than 1 minute to generate a unique Author ID code. Then you begin adding your papers, which, with the aid of several services like CrossRef (with DOI numbers) and Scopus searching tool, it is surely much better and easier than keying everything.
My ORCID author identification
My Researcher ID author identification
My Scopus Author ID
My Google Scholar Author ID
It is worth noting here that I have served for a time as an ambassador to the ORCID community for a time, in order to spread the word and introduce the services to the scholars.
Last note: It would be a nice thing if you apply ALL of them, because some journals will accept Researcher ID, but some of them will require ORCID records, etc, so they will be handy. Registering to them does not take much time, but providing content does. Nevertheless it is a good venue if you decide registering to them.
