⚠️ As part of our commitment to security and infrastructure, we are planning to upgrade our authentication and authorization software on Wednesday, 8 April. While not expected, users may experience periods of slower performance, or momentary interruptions in service on this date.
Lyrasis recently shared a report on community-driven priorities for advancing #ORCID & PIDs in the DSpace repository software.
Several areas for development have emerged:
🔹 Enhanced ORCID Workflows
🔹 DataCite Integration
🔹 Better Documentation
🔹 Improved Syncing
Happy Feature Friday! 💫
Among our latest Registry updates include improvements to the Add Works menu option within the Works section of the ORCID record to support the new "Import works from other services" option.
