National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) has implemented ORCID IDs for its faculty to help increase the visibility and impact of their research output. NTNU became an ORCID member organization and developed a communication plan to educate faculty and encourage signing up. Subject librarians helped collect faculty information and system librarians converted it to the required XML format for batch uploading to ORCID. Over 48% of faculty have claimed their ORCID records so far. NTNU's future plans include continued outreach, addressing issues like non-English publications, integrating ORCID with their faculty evaluation system, and linking their researcher portal to ORCID profiles.

11. NTNU Communication Plan
Our targets for creating ORCID records are all
full-time faculty of NTNU
The faculty will receive an official letter of
notification from NTNU President to explain
the benefits of creating ORCID records
Educate and outreach consistently with e-papers,
web pages, and workshops
Subject librarians will take the initiative to
collect information on faculty
Create ORCID records regularly by batch
record creation

12. NTNU Communication Plan
(Cont.)
Confirm that faculty members have claimed
their records successfully
Assure continuous communication and
outreach
Provide ongoing maintenance and creation of
ORCID records for new members.
Integrate the collection of ORCID records into
the NTNU Institutional Repository and the
RAE (research assessment exercise) system
Construct a global platform (or researcher
portal) for storing and disseminating the
academic output of NTNU 12

Difficult for Faculty and Librarians
Subject librarians collect faculty information
