Making Research Information Flow: DOIs and ORCIDsUNIQUE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS which identify scholars and their research outputs help information

flow seamlessly between systems. By using ORCǦDs and DOIs, publishers, funders, research institutions,

libraries, repositories, and other interested parties are able to reuse data which is entered only once but

replicated and linked on various systems.

These organizations have partnered with ORC�D to ensure data flows

seamlessly between systems.
