New Zealand ORCID Hub certified

IN EARLY HŌNGONGOI JULY, THE NEW ZEALAND ORCID HUB WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SERVICES IN THE WORLD TO BECOME A CERTIFIED ORCID SERVICE PROVIDER.

ORCID is a global organisation that provides researchers with a unique digital identifier, which they link with their chosen professional activities. The Society is the lead agency of the New Zealand ORCID consortium that supports ORCID adoption in Aotearoa, supported with funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. New Zealand ORCID Hub is software that was developed in partnership with the University of Auckland, with main developers Radomirs Cirskis and Roshan Pawar, which facilitates the writing of information to ORCID records. The New Zealand ORCID Hub was recognised by ORCID as satisfying the requirements for certification, becoming only the fifth integration to be so recognised. Consequently, users of the Hub can be confident that it meets all of ORCID’s best practices to authenticate ORCID IDs and update ORCID records. This recognition supports the vision of the New Zealand ORCID Consortium for all researchers being recognised for their contributions to New Zealand’s research, science and innovation system › institutions populating and reusing data from ORCID records, improving data quality and reusing and reducing the reporting burden › use of ORCID improving the performance of our research system for the benefit of all New Zealanders and the rest of the world.
