Researcher ids are of great benefit to researchers as the post has highlighted. I would certainly promote and encourage ACU researchers to create and manage their researcher ids. I have been aware of instances where there have been researchers that have used different e-mail addresses, abbreviated names, full names, in other words, they havent been consistent with how they have authored papers. This could be due to many reasons, however, if the reseachers have their researcher ids this would enable them to streamline their publications and promote them.
Often researchers also worry about the level of sharing / privacy restrictions if people come across their profile. I am aware that an ORCID would provide the researcher with control over their privacy settings for their record. Because of the range of researcher id platforms, the table would be a great way of showcasing the differences in researcher id platforms in addition to the ACU Research subject guide.

ORCID is certainly gaining momentum, for good reasons.
