Sticks and carrots - communications to researchers to encourage them to use the hub.

[Anton Angelo]

Kia ora koutou,

I've been asked to create a series of communications to our research community encouraging them to register their organisational affiliation with their ORCiD record.   Getting an ORCiD number is a no-brainer for (almost all) researchers.  Encouragement to also register through the hub is more complex.

So the carrots I can see are:

- A verified affiliation with your research institution, giving your ORCiD record a higher degree of reliability

- Easier communication with NZ research funders.

- Eventually, better transparency of the outcome of research funds. 

- ...

Sticks that could be used are:

- A hub-verified ORCiD number has to be used on funding applications 

- ...

If there is anyone who would like to spend some online time with me to workshop through these, I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Anton

Kia ora Anton,

Sincere thanks for kicking this off.

The carrots are indeed easy, an additional one is the end-goal of an electronic CV that is fed by data from ORCID and to be used for NZ research funding applications (and potentially such activities as the PBRF).

That gets to your stick.  It's highly unlikely that NZ Funders will require ORCID iDs from applicants, instead the likely stick is that if you don't have an ORCID-fed CV, you'll have to ensure that your self-curated one complies with whatever requirements the Funders have.  That's still a way off of course.

Another of the carrots: a potential Hub development milestone is the provision of authenticated funding information in ORCID records, e.g., I'd very much like to see how much of the Marsden Fund's history we'll be able to reveal with ORCID. 

Best wishes,

Jason.
