Following on from our first community survey, in 2015, we carried out two further surveys in 2017 - one of our user community, and the second of our consortia lead organizations. Today’s post focuses on what we learned from our community survey; part 2 will look at key findings from the consortia survey.

In today's post we meet ORCID member Orangenius, whose Founder and CEO Grace Cho tells us about her company and explains why and how they're integrating ORCID in their platform.

The Health Research Alliance (HRA) is sponsoring our latest ORCID consortium for their member non-profit funding organizations.  This is our first fully-funder consortium, and a powerful example of how funding organizations coordinating around ORCID integration can realize strategic network effects.

November 2017 sees the launch of the canonical form of the ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5727-2427, along with updated guidelines for ORCID integrators. Learn more about why we are making this change and what you need to do.

As we approach on fifth anniversary on October 16, it’s a good time to reflect on how far ORCID has come. We couldn’t have done it without the support of numerous individuals and organizations across the scholarly communications community. To celebrate [email protected], this month we will be reporting on our progress in three key sectors: funders, publishers, and – in this post – research institutions.

It's two years since we launched our peer review functionality, which has been implemented by a small number of early adopters. It's now available to all ORCID members using our new API 2.0 and we are happy to share with you some analysis of uptake to date. This post is based on data that was first shared at the Eighth International Peer Review Congress in Chicago (September 10-12, 2017).

Welcome to Peer Review Week 2017! We'll be celebrating all week with a series of blog posts and other activities and we hope you'll join us!

Rich, connected, reusable metadata is essential for a strong research infrastructure. We are delighted to be participating in a new initiative - Metadata 2020 -  launched this week to engage the the whole research community in improving the metadata that we create and consume, for the benefit of all.
