Researchfish have become a member of the ORCID community and are integrating with the ORCID iD researcher identification registry.

"Working with ORCID will enable researchers to link their ORCID iD with their Researchfish account,” says Frances Buck, Director of Researchfish. “This will allow researchers to push and pull publications and award data between the two systems.  This researcher-led interoperability means that any system able to consume the ORCID iD will be able to benefit from the high-quality, verified-at-source data that the researcher chooses to share publicly via their profile. Researchfish will automatically associate the funder’s grant reference number (verified by the funders using Researchfish) with the publication data, to enrich the ORCID repository and provide another valuable link in the research data chain. To date researchers have reported in excess of 500,000 publications in Researchfish."

Integrating Researchfish with ORCID registries will enable researchers to share data easily between these services and thereby gain significant time savings managing their outputs portfolio. Connecting Researchfish accounts with ORCID registries is a major step forward in achieving interoperability for the research community of scientists, their research institutions and funding organisations.
