[Esip-preserve] FYI: Thomson Reuters Webinar: The similarities and differences between ResearcherID & ORCID

[Curt Tilmes]

We talked about these as unique identifiers for people:

Do you have a ResearcherID?  Have you registered for an ORCID?  Not
sure if you need both?  Then this is for you.

Accurate attribution has always been a challenge in the scholarly
sphere. Thomson Reuters has long known this, hence the creation of
ResearcherID. And, it’s also the reason we are a founding member of
the ORCID initiative.

So why ORCID and ResearcherID?

Presented by Laure Haak, Executive Director of ORCID, and Ellen
Rotenberg, Senior Product Manager at Thomson Reuters, this joint
web-based seminar explores the background, development and status of
ORCID, and how they map to the scientific literature ecosystem at
Thomson Reuters.

As of March 10, ResearcherID will be the first third-party system to
ingest ORCID information, allowing you to manage your profile and
share the information in one with the other.
