Our Research Information System (RIS) has now been extended to include ORCID information for additional authors cited on research outputs. This will make it easier to track personal, geographic and institutional collaboration and interaction between staff and their peers. The ultimate goal being to facilitate data mining and visualization to better inform strategic planning and relationships moving forward. Historically information regarding collaboration and interaction has been and continues to be very challenging to collate. The hope is that ORCID will greatly assist in this effort by providing easy tracking of individual networks.
Work is now going on behind the scenes to extend our HR system to include ORCIDs, watch this space!!
