The University of Victoria recently joined this consortia, along with other stakeholders from across the higher education sector, including institutions, researchers, research libraries, museums, consortia for research networks, computing, and content management, funders, publishers, software developers and nonprofit organizations.
For research institutions supporting the work of their researchers, ORCID has the potential to:
- Improve data quality for showcasing the institutions complete research profile through improved visibility and discoverability of research outputs accurately linked to a researcher's ORCID iDs
- Integrate existing internal and external research management systems such as the CCV; ORCID can automate the movement of research information between systems reducing manual data entry, thus minimizing the administrative burden on faculty.
