The present BAD webinar aims to introduce the ORCID standard to the Information Science community in Portugal. The talk will deal with topics such as what ORCID is, what the benefits of its implementation will be for researchers and institutions, and what the planned strategies are for promoting ORCID adoption – which should be widespread enough for the initiative to succeed.
