70+ faculty members allow librarians to be
their trusted individuals

13. Future Plan
Assure continuous communication and
outreach
In NTNU, maybe the university librarian (I mean
“me”) have to promote ORCID by himself
Integrate with our Faculty RAE system
Our subject librarians endeavor to collect and
clean data from the faculty RAE system, WOS,
Scopus, and Institutional Repository
Integrate our researcher portal with ORCID
In next Feb., our researcher portal can sync data
with ORCID
Expect to be one of the subject services
