We are excited to announce a new collaboration between SCImago and ORCID, aimed at exploring the future of self-curation in scholarly research. This partnership brings together SCImago’s expertise in bibliometric analysis and ORCID’s extensive open data infrastructure, creating an innovative, researcher-centric approach to tracking scientific output and impact.
As the academic landscape continues to evolve, researchers seek greater control over how their work is represented, assessed, and contextualized. Self-curation offers an opportunity for scholars to shape their own research narratives by actively managing their profiles, affiliations, and contributions. Through this partnership, SCImago and ORCID will investigate how self-curation can enhance transparency, accuracy, and personalization in research evaluation, moving beyond traditional, static metrics to more dynamic and inclusive assessment models.
Our shared goal is to uncover new insights into the role of self-curation in scholarly communication and to develop tools and best practices that empower researchers to take ownership of their academic identity. By integrating SCImago’s analytical capabilities with ORCID’s trusted researcher identifiers, we aim to support more holistic and nuanced approaches to scholarly impact measurement.
This collaboration marks an important step toward fostering a more open, equitable, and researcher-driven research ecosystem, where scholars have greater agency in how their work is recognized and evaluated. We look forward to sharing our findings and engaging with the broader research community as we explore the future of self-curation together.
