LaTeX style file to add a macro for inserting a linked ORCiD logo
This LaTeX style file defines \orcidlink and a few related macros.
The code is from this TeX.SE
answer. I wrapped it
into a style file and improved the fragility of the command a bit.
Later (at the suggestion of Hugo Heagren) we added the \orcidlogo
command, and commands for the three recommended formats: full,
compact, and inline, with commands \orcidlinkf, \orcidlinkc, and
\orcidlinki.
If orcidlink is already provided in your TeX distribution, skip this
section. You should be able to install orcidlink from the CTAN via
your distribution's utility (e.g. the TeX Live Utility).
Alternatively, you can get the package from the source repository on
GitHub. If
you do not want to do a "full" installation, just copy
orcidlink.sty into the same directory as your LaTeX
source.
In your preamble, add:
\usepackage{orcidlink}When you want to insert the hyperlinked ORCiD logo, use \orcidlink{0000-0000-0000-0000}, replacing the digits with your ORCiD (just the digits, not your whole URL). This is most common in the author list. For example, in a revtex article, you would write e.g.
\author{Emmy Noether\,\orcidlink{0000-0000-0000-0000}}
...This will appear as a clickable hyperlink, and will look like this:
If you simply want the ORCiD logo without a hyperlink anywhere, use
\orcidlogo.
ORCiD’s guidelines
recommend three formats: full, compact, and inline. The three formats
are available, through \orcidlinkf{orcid}, \orcidlinkc{orcid}, and
\orcidlinki{Name}{orcid}.
This package relies on the following packages:
All of these packages are included in the popular TeX Live distribution, so most users should not have to install anything new.
If you want to pass options to either of these packages, load them
before you load orcidlink. Similarly, if you want to specify options
to e.g. xcolor, load xcolor before loading tikz or orcidlink.
