ORCID for Researchers Discovery Made Easy and Open

Описание: Speaker: Eric Olson, Engagement and Partnerships Lead, North America, ORCID

Abstract: Researchers spend hundreds of hours every year dealing only with the administrative components of submitting publications, grants, and institutional reporting; entering their personal information, affiliations, and activities again and again. Even after publication, they may be confused with other researchers with the same or similar name.

ORCID, Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier, is an organization, a portable and persistent identifier for researchers, a set of protocols for systems in scholarly communication to exchange data, and a global community open research effort. ORCID's mission is to provide open source tools that increase the visibility and discoverability of not only the researcher her or himself, but also all of the contributions that are crucial to a career in scholarship. This talk will describe current high-profile projects, including those with federal agencies, that are saving researchers time and enabling connections between their staff/users and works of many varieties, funding awards, facilities and equipment use.
