ORCID, as an individual identifier, is invaluable to researchers looking to distinguish themselves. ORCID’s registry of 10 million researchers, their affiliations and works, is supported by connections from ORCID member organizations, funding agencies, publishers, and research institutions, who add trusted content via API connections to ease the administrative burden of researchers.
ORCID has recently developed an interface to allow research institutes access to an uploadable csv template to easily enlist researchers to add their education or employment via their research institute’s connection to the ORCID registry. This interface is available to ORCID Consortium members, as an added value of being a member of an ORCID community of practice organization.
