Use of digital identifier ORCID

The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID, Identificador Abierto del Investigador y el Contribuyente) is a unique identifier, composed by 16 digits, which aims to provide researchers with an unambiguous author code that clearly distinguishes their scientific production and avoids confusions related to scientific authorship and the existence of overlapping or similar names; therefore, its use has become a mandatory requirement for scientific publications and communications. 

ORCID also provides a place to register works and other data, which can be shared and linked with other identification systems (ResearcherID, ScopusID, Publons, among others). If you have not yet created your ORCID, you can do so at the following link : https://orcid.org/.

It is not enough to have a registration number; the  specialty, expertize, institution where researcher works, province and country must also appear, as well as the publications and events in which the researcher has participated. Names and surnames must appear in full. To edit the ORCID registry and complete data, just follow the hyperlink send by ORCID or enter the webpage with the username and password chosen by the proper author. 

Papers that do not comply with these guidelines will be rejected.
