Bethesda, MD, USA — 16 July, 2026— ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and the CSTR Identification Platform, based in Beijing, China, are pleased to announce a new strategic partnership aimed at strengthening the adoption of persistent identifiers (PIDs) throughout the research data lifecycle and enhancing the visibility of research systems globally.
ORCID and CSTR share a common goal to improve the transparency and reliability of research information. Under a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), both organizations will collaborate to promote the interoperability of ORCID identifiers and CSTR identification system, focusing particularly on research infrastructures user communities.
A Collaboration for Global Connectivity
The MOU establishes a framework for dialogue and cooperation on several key initiatives, including:
- Deepening Exchanges: Facilitating technical and strategic discussions between ORCID and CSTR
- Promoting Interoperability: Building support for information connectivity between identifier systems
- Regular Coordination: Establishing formal mechanisms to advance mutual cooperation and shared best practices
“This signing deepens the strategic cooperation between ORCID and CSTR. We will focus on PIDs interoperability and working together to strengthen the global academic infrastructure ecosystem,” said ZHOU Yuanchun, Director of Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
“Strategic partnerships with important virtual open science infrastructure and IT service providers are vital to ORCID’s mission,” said Chris Shillum, Executive Director of ORCID. “By working together to build support for information connectivity, we can ensure that research user communities of both sides benefit from increased visibility and reduced cost burdens for open science cooperation.”
About CSTR
CSTR Identification Platform（https://www.cstr.cn/en), supported by the Computer Network Information Center (CNIC) of theChinese Academy of Sciences, was established in 2016 based on the National Standard GB/T 32843—2016 (“Science and technology resource identification”) CSTR provides unique identification service for global scientific data, papers, large research infrastructures, scientific institutions, researchers, scientific instruments, patents and other science and technology resources, to realize the rapid positioning and acquisition worldwide.
About ORCID
ORCID (http://orcid.org) is an global, open and interdisciplinary community-based effort to provide an identifier for individuals to use with their name as they engage in research and innovation activities, as well as the tools that enable transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and affiliations. ORCID’s vision is a world where all who participate in research and innovation, from imagining to building and managing, are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time. ORCID seeks to reduce administrative burden for researchers and help organizations understand the impact of the research they are facilitating or funding.
新闻稿 – ORCID与科技资源标识服务平台建立战略伙伴关系
ORCID和科技资源标识服务平台正携手合作，在科研建设生命周期中提升ORCID、CSTR及其他持久标识符（PID）的互操作性，提升科研系统在全球的可见性。
美国马里兰州贝塞斯达——2026/07/16]——ORCID（开放研究者与贡献者身份识别）和科技资源标识服务平台欣然宣布建立新的战略合作伙伴关系。该合作伙伴关系旨在加强持久标识符（PID）在科研数据生命周期中的应用，并提升科研系统在全球的可见性。
ORCID和CSTR拥有共同的目标，即提高科研信息的透明度和可靠性。根据双方签署的谅解备忘录（MOU），双方将合作提升ORCID标识符、CSTR标识系统的互操作性，尤其侧重于支撑构建与科研基础设施相关的开放科学合作生态。
全球互联互通合作
该谅解备忘录为ORCID与CSTR在多个关键领域开展对话与合作奠定了基础，其中包括：
- 深化交流：促进ORCID与CSTR之间的技术和战略讨论
- 提升互操作性：构建标识符系统间信息互联互通的支持体系
- 定期协调：建立正式机制，推进双方合作并分享最佳实践
“此次签署深化了ORCID与CSTR之间的战略合作。我们将重点关注持久标识符（PID）的互操作性，并携手支撑构建与科研基础设施和开放科学相关的合作生态。”中国科学院计算机网络信息中心主任周园春表示。
“与重要的科研信息基础设施与技术服务实践者建立战略伙伴关系，对ORCID的使命至关重要。”ORCID执行主任Chris Shillum表示。 “通过共同努力构建信息互联互通体系，我们可以确保研究人员受益于更高的可见度，通过学术资源互访问降低科研成本。”
关于CSTR
由中国科学院计算机网络信息中心為指导单位，科技资源标识服务平台（https://www.cstr.cn）基于中国国家标准GB/T 32843—2016《科技资源标识》建设，面向全球科学数据、论文、大科学装置、科研人员、生物物种、预印本、专利等科技资源提供唯一标识服务，实现科技资源全球范围快速定位与获取。
关于 ORCID
ORCID (http://orcid.org) 是一个全球性的、开放的、跨学科的非营利组织，旨在为个人提供一个与其姓名一起使用的身份标识符，用于参与研究和创新活动，并提供工具来实现研究人员、其贡献和所属机构之间透明、可信的联系。 ORCID的愿景是，让所有参与研究和创新的人员，无论其是构思、构建还是管理，都能被唯一识别，并跨越学科、国界和时间，与他们的贡献建立联系。ORCID致力于减轻研究人员的行政负担，并帮助机构了解其所支持或资助的研究的影响。
