Automate Your Impact with The Lens + ORCID How can researchers spend less time on data entry and more time on discovery? In this Enabling Value webinar, we feature The Lens to showcase how their open discovery tools allow researchers to automatically enhance and maintain their ORCID records. We’ll take a deep dive into the Lens Profiles, a powerful bridge that connects global scholarly literature and global patent data directly to your ORCID iD. While many tools handle journal articles, The Lens is a leader in tracking innovation. Whether you are a researcher looking to sync your latest publications and patents, or an ORCID member institution looking to streamline workflows for your faculty, this session will show you how to unlock the full potential of interoperable scholarly data. What You’ll Learn: Syncing Scholarly Works: How to use The Lens to identify missing publications and sync them to your ORCID record in bulk. Capturing Patent Impact: How to integrate patent data from over 95 jurisdictions to ensure your inventions are credited alongside your research. Streamlining Workflows: How ORCID member organizations can leverage The Lens as a "force multiplier" to reduce the manual reporting burden on faculty. Automating Record Maintenance: How to enable "set-and-forget" syncing to keep professional profiles current with minimal ongoing effort.
