ORCID

On top of the benefits listed for researchers, a faculty member should know about these additional benefits of using ORCID:

• ORCID has the potential to allow for automated updates to the Canadian Common CV (CCV). The CCV is a partnership of federal, provincial and non-governmental research granting agencies, which allows them to enter their CV data in once in a format that is suitable for submission to multiple grants.
• Contributions to the peer review process can be added to an ORCID profile if an organization (e.g. IEEE) has integrated the ORCID API in their peer review system.
• Non-traditional scholarly work, such as activity that comes from teaching and supervising students,  can be added to a faculty member’s ORCID record. For example, Supervised-student-publication, Lecture-speech,and Data-sets are all works that can be added to their ORCID profile.
