Video on NZ ORCID Hub

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 the adoption of ORCID in Aotearoa. The software project, the New Zealand ORCID Hub, has been actively used by consortium members to write information including successful funding awards, employment and education affiliations, and research outputs to ORCID records. Authentic information in ORCID records can be used to inform reports on activities, or provide information for funding applications and journal submission systems. Utilising information in ORCID records allows organisations and researchers to save significant time and duplication when making applications and submissions online.

In June we published a video explaining the Hub and the opportunities it provides organisations.

“We’re relying on the New Zealand ORCID Hub actually – in the first instance to understand about authenticating records, reading and writing to researchers’ records, and then using the tools that they’ve set up to upload information. The reason why we are encouraging our researchers to get ORCID IDs is it really seems like ORCID IDs are becoming a national and international standard. We have noticed a big increase in the number of research platforms asking people to enter their IDs.”
