ORCID and ORO

• It allows transfer of publications to and from ORO and ORCID
• It verifies that your ORCID account is actually yours (ORO serves as an institutional verifier of your identity)
• Your ORCID ID will feed through to the HESA information in your personal details on staff self service (requires login)
