IRs to share/expose usage statistics at the
individual item level, based on a global

8. IRUS-UK and ORCIDs
Get involved
»At the moment relatively few institutional repositories are exposing ORCIDs
»We need more institutions to adopt and expose ORCIDs:
›Embed them into your workflows
›Incorporate ORCIDs in your repository metadata
›Install RIOXX plugins (Eprints) / patches (DSpace)
›Expose ORCID metadata via RIOXX in your OAI-PMH interfaces
What’s next
›Targeted reports for researchers/funders
›Working with the ORCID API to enhance our metadata
