Figshare, an online digital repository for academic research, has announced that ORCID, provider of persistent identifiers (iDs) for researchers, is now using Figshare to showcase its resources, documentation, staff contributions and other publicly available materials.
Since launching in 2012, ORCID has become the de facto standard for researcher identifiers. Over three million researchers globally have registered for an ORCID iD, which they can use to uniquely identify them and ensure reliable connections with their affiliations and contributions.
All ORCID's publicly available materials will now be available in a customised Figshare portal available at orcid.figshare.com. All files uploaded will be issued a DOI, a persistent identifier that enables access, reuse, and citation, and will make use of Figshare's viewer technology, which supports over 650 different files types, to display presentations, videos and documents in the browser. The ORCID portal will make the organisation's resources and documents more discoverable to the wider research community with rich metadata and digitally preserved.
