About ORCID-CA

ORCID-CA is the ORCID Consortium in Canada. We provide institutions and organizations with membership to ORCID at a reduced cost as well as access to community support services.

The goals of ORCID-CA are:

  1. All active researchers in Canada will have an ORCID identifier

  2. Canadian researchers actively use their ORCID throughout the research lifecycle

  3. The Tri-Agencies will integrate ORCID with their grant management and CV systems

  4. The ORCID-CA Consortium is a sustainable organisation which has steadily grown its membership base.

  5. Publishers, granting agencies and institutions across Canada will consider ORCID as the community supported choice for a persistent identifier (PID)
