In this webinar, the portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) presented its innovative use of ORCID in research management.
Since 2014, PTCRIS—Portugal’s national research information system—has championed the principle, “Register once, reuse always,” streamlining research management for Portuguese researchers. While ORCID adoption isn’t mandatory, it has become highly encouraged due to its numerous benefits for researchers. By integrating ORCID with national systems like CIÊNCIAVITAE, PTCRIS has significantly reduced the administrative burden on researchers, who no longer need to manually update their profiles across various platforms. New projects or publications added to ORCID are automatically synced with CIÊNCIAVITAE, ensuring data accuracy without redundant effort. This integration has saved over 154 hours of administrative work, allowing researchers to dedicate more time to their research.
Webinar took place on November 20, 2024 from 4PM in English.
