Stories from the implementation process

For the sake of inspiration, this page is dedicated to universities who are in the process of implementing ORCID.

Implementation at Aalborg University

We have been in touch with the heads of departments. We have sent an email that explained about ORCID, and to let them know that we would get back to them within a couple of weeks. The next step was to call them and ask if they were supportive of the idea, and whether we could persuade them to issue a general email encouraging everyone to create and ORCID ID if we promised to create any remaining ID’s a few weeks later. This has become the procedure for each department. Some departments have asked us to give a presentation of ORCID at a staff meeting and assist with the creation of ORCID ID’s on the spot.
