THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL CONSORTIUM ORCID UKRAINE IN ADVANCING OPEN SCIENCE POLICY

Abstract

This article explores the pivotal role played by the National Consortium ORCID Ukraine in effectively implementing the Open Science Policy within the Ukrainian research landscape. . The article delves into the strategies employed by the consortium to promote ORCID iDs (Open Researcher and Contributor IDs) and their integration into various research processes to enhance research transparency, streamline collaboration, and establish a robust foundation for open science practices. Emphasizing the significance of ORCID iDs in uniquely identifying researchers, the discussion also highlights their impact on reducing authorship ambiguity and ensuring accurate attribution of scholarly contributions. Furthermore, the article explores the broader implications of promoting open science in Ukraine, emphasizing the positive correlation between research transparency and economic development. It is shown that by facilitating a more transparent and collaborative research environment, the National Consortium ORCID Ukraine generates high-quality research outputs, fosters innovation, and attracts investment. The experiences and successes of the consortium in advocating for open science principles, along with the challenges encountered and lessons learned, are detailed. Particularly, it highlighted the challenges and the technical complexity associated with using the ORCID Affiliation Manager tool by Ukrainian research institutes and ensuring compatibility and seamless data transfer between the digital repository system DSpace and the editorial workflows of the publishing platform OJS. The article concludes by underscoring the critical role that initiatives like the National Consortium ORCID Ukraine play in shaping a research ecosystem that not only adheres to open science principles but also stimulates economic growth through knowledge dissemination and collaboration.
