NZ ORCID Consortium
UCOL Te Pūkenga has joined as a founding member of the
New Zealand ORCID Consortium, a national approach to the Open Researcher and Contributor ID or ORCID platform. ORCID is a global not-for-profit organisation created in 2012 to solve the problem of name ambiguity in research by creating a registry with a unique identifier for each researcher, like a national health number but for researchers. The recent launch of the New Zealand ORCID Consortium will help close the loop on New Zealand’s research system, allowing for up-to-date records of researcher contributions and evaluation of the research system.
