Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) joins the ORCID Canada Consortium

From the announcement:The CFI works to increase the capability of Canada’s universities, colleges, research hospitals and non-profit research organizations to carry out high quality research by investing in research infrastructure.ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) produces unique, persistent identifiers that researchers can use with multiple organizations to compile the outputs of their research activities. This is part of an overall effort to reduce the administrative burden for the research community in relation to data collection in all our processes. In addition, the integration of persistent unique identifiers such as ORCID is a facilitator in the ongoing transition towards open science.More information:https://www.crkn-rcdr.ca/en/canada-foundation-innovation-joins-orcid-canada-consortium...

White paper with case studies: How ORCID and researcher identifiers work together to help researchers, build a better picture of research, and streamline administrative tasks

Brown, Josh and Meadows, Alice (2025). “It’s “ORCID and…,” not “ORCID or…”: How researcher identifiers work together to help researchers, build a better picture of research, and streamline administrative tasks.” MoreBrains Cooperative. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15737460In some communities, where national, disciplinary, orproprietary researcher identifiers are well established andwidely used, ORCID is seen as an ‘extra’ identifier, whosevalue is not always apparent. However, ORCID is mostpowerful in combination with these other identifier types.Integrations between ORCIDand other types of researcheridentifiers benefit everyone, by enabling trustworthyinformation – validated in one or both systems – to flowseamlessly across the many online tools and platforms usedby researchers and their organizations....
