vs Comparison

Academia.edu vs ORCID

Who’s behind each, what their homepages track, what they cost and how often their policies changed, measured the same way for both. By what they offer, they’re very close.

Academia.edu

A commercial platform where researchers upload and share academic papers, build profiles, and follow others' work; reading is free, while downloads require registration and extra features (analytics, advanced search) require a paid premium subscription.

ORCID

ORCID issues free persistent digital identifiers to researchers and maintains a registry that links them to their publications, grants, affiliations and other scholarly work, with integrations for publishers, funders and institutions.
