And here's the @orcid.org white paper itself in case you're interested 😊 doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Should @orcid.org replace all other researcher identifier systems? A recent report from @morebrains.coop says ORCID iDs are most powerful in combination with other researcher IDs (national, disciplinary & proprietary). Read it here: buff.ly/rID989E

We're looking forward to this webinar on the outputs from our community engagement work with @ukri.org on their #OpenAccess policy. Speakers include Melissa Harrison @ebi.embl.org Catriona MacCallum @wiley.com & Agustina Martinez-Garcia @uniofcam.bsky.social & UKCoRR.

Wow - less than a day after we published our white paper on @orcid.org & other researcher identifiers it has over 1.1k views & 299 downloads. If you haven't already checked it out please do - & share your thoughts! doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Should @orcid.org replace all other researcher identifier systems? The answer is No according to the @morebrains.coop: It's "ORCID and…," not "ORCID or…". Read about how ORCID complements national, disciplinary and proprietary researcher identifier systems in this informative white paper.

Great to work on this project! All views expressed are our own, but we're v grateful to the @orcid.org team for their help gathering data & other background info!

We're thrilled to share our new white paper on why @orcid.org iDs are most powerful in combination with other researcher IDs (national, disciplinary & proprietary). Like it says in the title “It's ORCID and…,” not “ORCID or…” 😊 doi.org//10.5281/zen...
