Northumbria University is exploring broader implementation of ORCID identifiers across researcher career paths and the research cycle through a partnership. This will involve encouraging graduate students to get an ORCID ID during enrollment and induction, capturing IDs for the annual HESA return, and integrating ORCID into the professional development and student records systems. Next steps involve promoting ORCID in research training and using ORCID membership features to streamline sign-up and identifier capture.
