From How to add Orcid ID in LaTex article?, they suggest to display the ORCID icon with the following package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{orcidlink}
\begin{document}
\orcidlink{https://orcid.org} is an ORCID link.
\end{document}

However when I do this, the ORCID icon is shown as a superscript (the letters ID are above the letters of the rest of the sentence):

How can I show it centered as in the following image (the letters ID start on the same height as the letters of the rest of the sentence)?

  • How are you compiling your code? I get a centred link https://i.stack.imgur.com/pYjL9.png – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Feb 15 '23 at 16:20
  • Did you try with a different viewer? – Niranjan Feb 15 '23 at 16:23
  • I'm doing it on overleaf. – Puco4 Feb 15 '23 at 16:32
  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz for me your image is still not centered as in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/572731/201615 – Puco4 Feb 15 '23 at 16:34
  • @Puco4 Download the pdf from overleaf and view it with a different viewer. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Feb 15 '23 at 16:35
  • @Puco4 is your complaint about the positioning and size of the hyperlink, or the graphic itself? The result you are getting from compilation appears consistent with the examples given in https://info.orcid.org/brand-guidelines/ – Dai Bowen Feb 15 '23 at 16:38
  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz I do it and I see it like the image in your link, but if you notice it is differently positioned from the second image where the letters inside the icon are on the same height as the rest of the sentence. – Puco4 Feb 15 '23 at 16:40

    @DaiBowen I would like to see the letters inside the icon (ID) on the same height as the normal font (as displayed in the second image I show). – Puco4 Feb 15 '23 at 16:41

The orcidlink package scales the height of the icon so it matches an uppercase X (which is a very sensible choice) if you want to change the size of the icon, you can either redeclare the scaling factors given in the code of orcidlink (especially \@curXheight) or make your own, using ?academicons`:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{academicons}
\usepackage{xcolor,graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}


\definecolor{orcid-green}   {RGB} {166, 206, 57}


\DeclareRobustCommand\orcidlink[1]{%
  \texorpdfstring{\href{https://orcid.org/#1}{\textcolor{orcid-green}{\raisebox{-.3ex}{\scalebox{1.1}{\aiOrcid}}}}}{https://orcid.org/#1}%
}


\begin{document}
\orcidlink{0000-0001-7559-9597} is an ORCID link.
\end{document}

enter image description here

You might want to play a little with the scaling factors of \raisebox and \scalebox until it meets your expectations...
