ORCID author identifier pilot project: implementation and cost-benefit analysis

Recently a report on the benefits of ORCID (author identifier) implementation in higher education was published.

ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and – through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission – supports automated linkages between the author and his/her professional activities ensuring that the work is recognized. ORCID is a non-profit organization supported by a global community of organizational members, including research organizations, publishers, funders, professional associations, and other stakeholders in the research ecosystem.
