This document discusses ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and its role as a community initiative. It notes that ORCID allows publishers, repositories, associations, funders, and universities to collect researcher IDs and connect them to publications, grants, and other work. This enables information to be entered once and then reused across different systems. The document provides membership details and statistics on ORCID adoption in Asia Pacific countries. It emphasizes that ORCID is a community effort that requires support from researchers' affiliated organizations to promote its benefits.

ORCID members, connect iDs and their
publications, funding, and other research
activity records

organizations to understand

• How to make it easy
and spend LESS time on
admin process, and MORE
