By bringing our consortia leads together, we strengthen the entire research ecosystem. Paloma Marin-Arraiza, ORCID Blog

Chris Shillum @cshillum.bsky.social · Sep 11

I think both. In our experience, researchers are keen to see Trust Markers added to their ORCID records by the organizations they've granted permission to. But adoption will inevitably take time...

Chris Shillum @cshillum.bsky.social · Sep 10

@marianveneral.bsky.social We believe it would be dangerous for any one organization to have a monopoly on deciding who is trustworthy in research. That's why Community Trust Network brings together Trust Markers from our broad set of member organizations. You can read more at shorturl.at/G6naw

In fact our biggest supporters are our 30 national and regional consortia, which for-profit corporations are not allowed to participate in.

Chris Shillum @cshillum.bsky.social · Aug 29

I am saying they are not one of our biggest funders. Just one of the 1,477 organizations that support us (all of which we are very grateful to)

Chris Shillum @cshillum.bsky.social · Aug 29

How so?

Chris Shillum @cshillum.bsky.social · Aug 29

@aarontay.bsky.social Did you know that >6,400 systems around the scholarly ecosystem are now integrated with ORCID? I don't think any other scholarly profile system can claim that. More ORCID facts and figures at info.orcid.org/resources/or...

Chris Shillum @cshillum.bsky.social · Aug 29

@samuelmoore.org This is a misconception. We are financially supported by our >1,400 organizational members, over 75% of which are universities and research institutions, contributing almost 70% of our funding. The rest comes from a broad set of stakeholders. See info.orcid.org/resources/or...

Scholarly Publishers and ORCID: Partnering to Advance Trust in Research

Publishers were the earliest ORCID adopters; today, they help strengthen the scholarly record by contributing trusted data to ORCID.

Chris Shillum @cshillum.bsky.social · Aug 21

Estimates of the total number of researchers in the world vary, but I think it's safe to say that @orcid.org has reached critical mass with 10 million researchers actively using the system each year! They come from literally every country in the world as well...

ORCID @orcid.org · Aug 20

This week we reached 10M Yearly Active Researchers 🎉

DataCite auto-updating my ORCID record has to be the chef's kiss.

A screenshot. At the top, there is a purple header with the name "Rohini Lakshané" and an ORCID identifier (0000-0003-0205) along with the website "orcid.org."

Below the header, there is a white box containing the title of a publication: "Challenging Gendered Disinformation from India's Manosphere Requires Systemic Change." The publication is attributed to GenderIT.org, dated 2025-07-11, and categorized as "Other." It includes a DOI (10.5281/zenodo.16451698) and lists Rohini Lakshané as the contributor. A "Show more detail" link is present, indicating additional information is available.

At the bottom, there is a section labeled "Source: DataCite," marked with a green checkmark, indicating it is the preferred source among two options.
