ORCID Adoption and Integration Panel: Maximizing Research Impact

The Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice (BRI CoP) invites you to join a panel discussion on ORCID adoption and integration across Canadian research institutions. This session explores strategies, tools, and challenges for maximizing ORCID’s potential to improve researcher visibility and data interoperability. Toby Malone, Research Impact Librarian, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) While generally acknowledged as a vital academic tool across its campus, an environmental scan of ORCID uptake at Toronto Metropolitan University showed only a fraction of all faculty were using the tool at all, let alone maximizing its potential. Since the January 2025 adoption of the ORCID Affiliation Manager, ORCID integration has grown exponentially at TMU, led by Research Impact Librarian Toby Malone. In his short talk, Toby Malone introduces the adoption process of ORCID Affiliation Manager across a medium-sized faculty body, along with the challenges and opportunities he discovered along the way. Nikolas Lamarre, Canadian Persistent Identifier Community Officer, Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) Research outputs are often scattered across systems, making it difficult to see the full picture of scholarly activity. Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) bridge these gaps, linking data to make research information more interoperable, discoverable and FAIR. Nikolas highlights the ORCID Data Visualization Tool, adapted by CRKN, which integrates data from ORCID, ROR, Crossref, and DataCite to visualize institutional collaboration networks. In alignment with Canada’s National PID Strategy, upcoming enhancements aim to further deepen insights into researcher activity across the country. Pierre Lasou, Scholarly Communications Librarian, Université Laval Laval went live with the DSpace ORCID module in September 2025. Pierre’s talk focuses on the reasons that made them use this advanced module in DSpace (as it requires the use of the entity model) and the challenges they encountered so far while configuring it, using it and promoting it to their faculty. Jack Young, Research Impact & Bibliometrics Librarian, McMaster University Jack explores ORCID integration within McMaster University’s research information management system (Symplectic Elements). He explains how researchers can link and sync their ORCID with their McMaster-branded researcher profile to ensure accurate publication data and seamless updating. He also describes how access to enhanced research impact services has been used as an incentive for faculty to keep ORCID up to date.
