Our strategic focus for 2026–2029 is to expand the value and scope of ORCID as a verifiable identity and contribution data hub in order to proactively empower the global research community and advance transparent, trustworthy scholarship.
In order to do this, we have identified five themes in our new strategic plan, ORCID 2030: Advancing the Future of Research:
- Empowering Researchers
- Connecting Research Information
- Broadening our Community
- Advancing Trust and Integrity
- Strengthening ORCID’s Resiliency
By focusing on the objectives outlined in these themes over the next four years, ORCID hopes to enhance the reliability and value of our service, strengthen the connections within our Community Trust Network, and solidify our position as a provider of indispensable infrastructure for the scholarly community, providing Trust Markers that are proving to be critically useful for the future of transparent and trustworthy research.
