   ORCID
   ORCID (ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID ) provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized. 

   IIMRJ encourage all authors and co-authors to link their ORCIDs to their accounts. The ORCID ID is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.
