From: "Meadows, Alice" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2017 17:28:26 -0400 Hi everyone, I had originally (and perhaps erroneously) interpreted Arun's message as referring to his paper not having reached many people. In terms of ORCID reach, here are a few statistics that may be of interest. As of today we have: - 3,554,378 live ORCID registrants (excludes locked and deactivated records) - 686 organizational members, including 16 consortia (12 national, four regional - US) - 389 member integrations launched/approved to launch and another 100 or so in the pipeline. There are also an estimated 100+ non member integrations using our public API - 27 publishers have signed an open letter requiring ORCID iDs for - at a minimum - corresponding authors of accepted papers; 19 have gone live with that requirement for 1,600+ journals - 13 funders (that we know of) require ORCID iDs for grant applications or for their authors - by end 2016, 1,100,941 ORCID records were connected to at least one activity: • 596,241 with one or more connected works • 740,866 with one or more connected education affiliations • 655,933 with one or more connected employment affiliations There's a whole lot more information available in our 2016 annual report <https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.4810213.v2> for anyone who's interested, and please do let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks! Alice Meadows Director of Community Engagement & Support, ORCID [log in to unmask] +1 857-559-3337 <(857)%20559-3337> orcid.org/0000-0003-2161-3781
