Notifications preferences

ORCID sends three types of notifications to you:

• Account and record notifications
• New features and tips notifications
• Service messages related to or affecting your ORCID account

You choose how frequently you receive notifications from ORCID when you register your ORCID iD. You can also change how frequently you receive notifications from ORCID in your account settings by clicking the edit button in the email and notification preferences tab. 

Account and record notifications

ORCID sends notifications about activity on your ORCID record to your ORCID Inbox and via email to your primary email address. You can choose which types of notifications to receive and how often you'd like to receive them.

Notifications appear immediately in your ORCID Inbox unless you have chosen to never receive inbox notifications.

ORCID sends account and record notifications about:

• Items added or edited in your record by a trusted party
• Administrative changes, such as being made a trusted individual
• Whether an ORCID member organization wants your permission to add or update your ORCID record as a trusted organization, for example Crossref to initiate the auto-update process

More information about granting permissions can be found in granting access from a notification below.

More information about changing whether and how often you receive notifications can be found in notifications frequency settings.

New features and tips notifications

Choose whether to receive emails from ORCID about new features and tips for making the most of your ORCID record. These messages are sent to your primary email address once quarterly.

ORCID service messages

Service messages about changes to ORCID services or policies are sent to all ORCID registrants to their primary email addresses, as required by law. These announcements are rare. As this information may affect your visibility settings and the functioning of your ORCID account, you may not opt-out of service messages per our privacy policy.
