(April 2015) The ‘Joint Statement of Principle: ORCID – Connecting Researchers and Research‘ [PDF 297KB] proposes that Australia’s research sector broadly embrace the use of ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) as a common researcher identifier. The statement was drafted by a small working group coordinated by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) comprised of representatives from Universities Australia (UA), the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) and the Australasian Research Management Society (ARMS). Representatives of the Australian Research Council and the National Health and Medical Research Council also provided input through the working group.
The Australian National Data Service has the announcement.
The National Health and Medical Research Council, NHMRC and the Australian Research Council, ARC, are also encouraging researchers applying for funding to have an ORCID identifier.
