ORCID US Community Update

This presentation covers an update on the status and current trends in the ORCID US Community (127+ institutions), formed in 2018 as a consortium for ORCID member research institutions in the US. Prior to 2018, ORCID was very low on the list of priorities at US research institutions. However, infused with new communication channels, resources like webinars and planning guides, and increased personalized outreach to member organizations, ORCID is steadily moving to the forefront of conversations around research information management and related endeavors. While there is still room for growth in terms of ORCID adoption, and DOI usage in some disciplines, best practices are emerging and pathways forward are becoming more clear for the US research institution community that will perhaps resonate with other PID communities and other areas of the globe.
