Research Thing 7 - Researcher Identifiers

My advice to ACU researchers regarding profiles and IDs is the same as Tatum's - get on board!

Anything that lessens any ambiguities and errors is terrific, the fact that you can link profiles to your ORCID ID makes everything more accurate and less messy. Also it makes it easy for someone to view your work and follow you and thus, be recognised and cited.

I need to learn more about how everything links together so I can feel confident in explaining the benefits to our researchers as to why this is a good step to take. I don't have time at the moment, but once things get a little more quiet (if there is such a time) later perhaps in October, I will look into this in greater detail as a way to also connect with researchers and show them the possibilities and how the library can help.

  1. Great- and in this world, we know it's not just about one definite tool or tech- but a choice. It does take time. Knowing about options and then letting others know is important!!
