10. State of the room
Where are attendees on ORCID Journey?
2 minute overview each:
Name, institution, where Orcid iD in Infrastructure, why interested in HR
Boston College (BC) has integrated ORCID into their central identity management system to create an application known as “BC Create or Connect,” which provides a single portal for researchers at Boston College to start their journey with ORCID. The application allows researchers to register and connect their ORCID iD to their BC Eagle ID through the HR system PeopleSoft. From there, the system is configured to write/assert employment affiliation information to researchers’ ORCID records and collects ORCID iDs to display on public facing faculty profile pages.
