ORCID-CA Consortium

ORCID-CA Consortium

CRKN supports the ORCID Canada consortium as a national community of practice for the implementation of ORCID iDs for researchers.

ORCID Canada consortium logo.

CRKN is the administrative lead for the ORCID Canada consortium as part of our initiatives to support pathways to trusted knowledge through our persistent identifiers (PIDs) program. ORCID iDs are persistent identifiers that help scholars identify themselves and connect to the research ecosystem across their careers. ORCID is a global not-for-profit sustained through institutional membership. To provide the most effective local support, ORCID encourages regional public and non-profit organizations to join their local ORCID Consortium; in Canada, that’s ORCID-CA.

ORCID-CA was established to support a Canadian ORCID community of practice, to promote the use of ORCID iDs by Canadian scholars, and to enable the Canadian research community to take full advantage of the ORCID API in local institutional systems. ORCID-CA is sustained through institutional memberships that include Canadian universities, government agencies, research centres/networks, not-for-profit publishers, and more. Currently, ORCID-CA has 54 members.

ORCID helps scholars identify and disambiguate themselves across their careers by giving individuals an ORCID iD, a unique identifier that persists over time. Unlike other author identifiers, ORCID is not limited by discipline, by geographic region, or to any proprietary publisher or information provider. Major publishers, funders, and research institutions have adopted this international standard to support improved data exchange between scholarly research platforms and information systems. We encourage all scholars to register for an ORCID iD on ORCID’s website. Information about ORCID for researchers can be found here.

CRKN respectfully acknowledges that its offices are located on the traditional, unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe People. We also recognize that our member institutions are situated across the land now known as Canada, and we extend our respect and gratitude to all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities.

Through our work—particularly with the Canadiana and Héritage collections—we are committed to acknowledging colonial injustices, supporting First Nation, Inuit, and Métis data sovereignty, and working in partnership with communities. We strive to engage in respectful practices that honour community protocols and uphold the right of Indigenous Peoples to determine how materials related to their heritage are governed.
