Having a unique identifier makes it much easier to manage your research contributions and ensures that you are credited with all of the research publications you produce, even if you published under multiple names (e.g., maiden name) or versions of the same name (e.g., with a middle initial, etc.). ORCID, a not-for-profit organization whose work is non-proprietary, open, and transparent, assigns you a digital name identifier, the ORCID iD. Claiming your ORCID iD is easy. Registration takes 30 seconds.

Now that you have your ORCID iD, be sure to include it when you submit manuscripts for publication. ORCID is linked to numerous publishers, so often your new scholarly journal articles will automatically be added to your list of publications.
Google Scholar probably already has a list of your publications just waiting for you to claim. If so, you will also be provided some research metrics.
Your H-index can be found in Web of Science and Google Scholar. Don't be surprised if the H-index in one does not match the other. It is based on the number of times you were cited by other articles in that database. Cite your source when including this information in your packet or elsewhere so there is no confusion..
To manage your H-index in Google Scholar, see the Create Your Google Scholar Profile pdf above.
Instructions for getting your H-index from Web of Science are below.
