Metadata in the Invited position or distinction section

Organization

• Organization (required): The name of the organization. A list of suggestions displays automatically when you start typing during manual input. Select the organization's name from the list, and it will automatically populate other fields. 
  
  While some organization names include department level listings, we strongly recommend that you pick the highest level of the organization and provide departmental information in the department field.
  
  Note: The name of the agency may be in different languages, or transliterated for non-Latin scripts. If you cannot find the name of your organization, you can add it to your own ORCID record by manually typing its name in the Organization field instead of selecting one of the options in the list.
  
  
• City (required): City where the organization is located. This field is usually automatically filled in when you select an organization.
  
  
• Region, State or County: The region, state or county of the organization. This may be auto-populated when you choose the organization's name from the picklist. 
  
• Country or location (required): The country or territory of the organization. This is auto-populated when you choose the organization's name from the picklist.
