Why did you sign up for ORCID?

Question was phrased as "what was the main reason you signed up for ORCID?"

Upload service provided by the HKBU RVP team to assist in populating their ORCID iD with their works. Essentially just send us your CV and we do the rest.

"Other" included:

- Just to help out the Library
- We were told to do it
- I received many e-mail reminders
- Wanted to check out ORCID to see what it was about

Used ORCID in other systems?

Those that indicated that they had used ORCID primarily listed the following:

- Author submission systems
