Mark Zulauf, Researcher Information Systems Coordinator for Scholarly Communication and Publishing, has won an award for “Most Helpful Individual” from the ORCID US Community. This award recognizes a member of the ORCID US Community who was especially helpful to their peers.

The ORCID US Community provides a national community of practice for ORCID adoption and integration, maximizing the benefits of ORCID for premium consortium member organizations through dedicated support and a range of resources. ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is an open, non-profit, community-driven initiative to create a world where all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time. Zulauf was recognized in the ORCID US Community newsletter this past December for his advocacy with Pure’s ORCID integration and his continued guidance and support to Pure users engaging with ORCID.

“I am humbled to be recognized by my peers in the field of research information management as we work to improve interoperability between systems used in the administration of research activity and to alleviate administrative burden on researchers and scholars throughout the United States,” said Zulauf.

Congratulations to Zulauf!
