ProQuest is enabling automated updates from ORCID to scholar profiles in its popular Pivot® research solution. Now, citations added or updated in a scholar's ORCID profile will cascade near real time and seamlessly into their Pivot profile.
Locating funding opportunities is an arduous task and securing research funding is becoming increasingly competitive, as funding opportunities are limited and the number of researchers vying for those opportunities continues to grow. Pivot uses researchers' profile information in its recommendation engine, matching grants and collaborators to researchers. Integration of the updated publication information helps Pivot learn more about the scholar's research area, improving the recommendation for funding sources and collaborators. This latest enhancement to Pivot eliminates the need for scholars to key citations in their Pivot profile, freeing them to spend more time evaluating opportunities.
ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier (ORCID iDs) for researchers that distinguishes researchers and ensures their work is recognised. Researchers can use these ORCID iDs to connect to contributions and affiliations during their regular activities, including submission of manuscripts, dissertations, or datasets; grant applications; and in student or employee directory and profile systems.
