The "ORCID or Nothing" Myth: Why ORCID Doesn’t Want to Replace Your Researcher ID System (And Why That’s Good)
Kimberly Inniger, Chris Shillum
Must adopting global standards mean sacrificing local identity? This session deconstructs the myth of the "one-size-fits-all" approach to Persistent Identifiers (PIDs). Through real-world case studies, we will demonstrate how integrating ORCID with national and specialist ID systems reduces administrative burden, eliminates "identifier fatigue" for researchers, and unlocks deeper collaborative insights. Attendees will walk away with a practical roadmap to transform fragmented data into a unified, interoperable global dataset.
