CHORUS has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ORCID to support discoverability in scholarly communications.
Close collaboration among organisations like CHORUS and ORCID, which provide services that support the flow of research communications, is vital to evolving its interoperable, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure to meet the changing needs of the scholarly community.
Plans include supporting simple and non-ambiguous links between researchers and funders by linking CHORUS article records to ORCID ID researcher records, building awareness of the ORCID registry among funding agency researchers and administrators, and encouraging the use of persistent identifiers for researchers and organisations to support public access to research works.
According to CHORUS Executive Director Howard Ratner, the two organisations will also engage in regular strategic conversations at the leadership level and explore coordinated communications.
