Benefits of ORCID
• Deduplication of data and disambiguation of researchers and research outputs
• Linking and reuse of high quality, persistent data • Streamline research processes and collaboration • Contribute to enhancing the nation’s research
profile through improved visibility and discoverability of research outputs and impacts

The ARC’s role • Continue to act on its commitment to the benefits
ORCID presents to the Australian research system
• Work collaboratively with the sector, other government agencies and ORCID on implementation and policy development
• Support and reinforce shared purpose and achievement of mutual outcomes from ORCID

ARC activities and implementation • ARC & NHMRC joint statement (Apr 2015) • Actively involved with the ORCID Working Group • Australian ORCID Consortium member • Authenticated ORCID identifiers collected in
application process for all funding schemes, beginning with Discovery Projects (Dec 2015)
• Continuing work to integrate and utilise ORCID within RMS and other ARC processes

Understanding what we are doing!

Benefits of ORCID for research
• There are exciting publications data that can’t be analysed until solutions to disambiguate authors are found.
• Too many Smiths!
Image shows a network of
authorship – but there are currently
too many ambiguiUes for it to
be used.

Benefits of ORCID at the ARC • ORCID information could potentially be used by the
ARC for: • reporting: reduction of burden • streamlining applications: “Harvest and review” • compliance checks for claims made in grant
proposals (authorship of research outputs, qualifications, employment, collaborations etc.)
• assessor selection and matching • conflict of interest processes (RMS look up of
information in ORCID for publications listed in proposals in order to identify those on that application not to be used as Assessors).

ERA 2015: Outcomes ERA 2015 results are available in: State of Australian University Research 2015-‐2016 , Volume 1, ERA Na@onal Report.*
ERA 2015 outcomes show Australia’s universiUes conUnue to produce high-‐quality research across a wide range of disciplines. Overall research quality is improving and reflects ERA’s role in focussing universiUes on research quality. Of the UoEs assessed in both ERA 2015 and the previous round, ERA 2012, 56 per cent of these maintained the same raUng, while 29 per cent improved their raUng by one. The ERA results show an extraordinary breadth of outstanding research performance in Australia. *Available at: www.arc.gov.au.

ERA 2012 to ERA 2015 Growth There was steady growth in Australia’s university research acUvity between the ERA 2012 and ERA 2015 rounds, including increases in:
• the total number of assessed UoEs, up 6% to 2460
• the number of research outputs submi_ed, up 5% to 432,747
• the number of research staff submi_ed, up 11% to 67,579
• total number of patents, up 20% to 936.

Measuring Impact
• In 2016 the ARC will work with the higher education research sector, industry and other end-users of research to develop quantitative and qualitative measures of impact and engagement.
• A pilot assessment will take place in 2017. The ARC will conduct a full assessment in 2018 as a companion to ERA
