Hey everyone, we’ve got some exciting news! 🎉 When we first launched ORCID auto-update a few years ago, only 230 publishers included ORCID iDs in their registered records. But now, that number has skyrocketed to nearly 13,000! 😱

What’s more, 3 million authors have given us permission to update their records automatically! We believe that every connection to the scholarly record helps the community contribute to the #ResearchNexus vision. Let’s keep it going!
