2. • Why are ORCID IDs important for both researchers and their
institution?
• What does the research information ecosystem look like, and what
are the challenges?
• How can the use of ORCID IDs in Research Management Systems and
Publishing Systems address the challenges?

Topic
The role of ORCID in the research information ecosystem

3. • Reputation is key to success for the researcher
• The reputation of the research is evaluated...
• when being recruited
• when recruiting to attract talent
• to get faculty funding & competitive grant funding
• Reputation is gained through the...
• volume and quality of publications
• research activities and amount
of funding
• research group’s and university’s
collective reputation

Why are ORCID IDs important for both
researchers and their institution?
Taking the perspective of reputation for the researcher

4. • Researchers often feel a stronger affiliation with the research group,
department and domain they belong to than the overall university
• Still: researchers benefit from the university’s reputation and the
university benefits from the researcher’s reputation
• University = Holding Company with many business units / research
groups to care for:
• Market the institution and position it as leading in selected domains
• Facilitate collaborations
• Provide support services to the researchers to enable them to succeed in
publishing, getting funding, recruiting talent
• Invest in infrastructure, minimize administration

available funding
Increase success rates,
and external research
funding

6. Why are ORCID IDs important for both
researchers and their institution?
Connecting the dots for high quality information

7. • Individual researchers
• ORCID ID, Employee number, Email address (e.g. LinkedIn), ResearcherID,
Scopus Author ID, ...
• Organisations
• GRID, ISNI, Ringgold, ...
• Publications
• CrossRef, mEDRA
• Research data
• CrossRef, DataCite
• Thematic areas
• MeSH, ISI Subject Categories, ...

9. • The institution needs to be able to answer key questions in order to
facilitate for the researchers to become successful
• In what research fields are we strong or weak?
• What collaborations do we have, which ones do we want to have?
• Which researchers contribute well and which not so well to volume,
quality, funding, collaborations?
• ...
• To answer these questions, the institution needs to proactively
manage information on the researchers, their activities and results
AND collect the information while not burdening the researcher
• This requires ORCID IDs to be used in internal as well as external
systems to connect the dots and automatically reuse the data

15. • Develop an overall approach to proactively manage research
information:
• Make use systems that support the use of ORCID and other relevant IDs
• Establish a process to ensure systematic use of ORCID IDs among the
researchers
• Train staff at library and research office to use data and provide adequate
support towards end-users
• Work with end user engagement to support
them use ORCID IDs and benefit from
services for publishing, applying for grants
and recruiting talent
