On February 15, 2024, the international project "ORCID Global Participation Fund-Community development and Outreach in Uzbekistan" was launched at the Samarkand branch of the Tashkent State University of Economics.

The project will conduct outreach and training programs to disseminate information about ORCID and its reliability as a profiling/certification system for researchers. The project is headed by Professor Praveen B. Malla of the Department of "Digital Economy and Information Technologies". The administrative support of the project is carried out by Zafar Abdullayev, the deputy director of the university for scientific affairs and innovations. In addition, the senior teacher of the "Uzbek language and foreign languages" department, Rafiyeva Bunafsha, and the working secretary of the department of scientific affairs and innovations Yoldoshev Mirzohidlar form the main team of the project.
What is ORCID?
ORCID, or Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a private number system for researchers, scientific authors, and other individuals engaged in scientific activities. These figures help to illuminate, identify and integrate their scientific activities.
The ORCID system is a database established in 2012. Its main goal is to cover scientific activities in a clear and universal way by providing private numbers for scientific authors and researchers. These numbers are used in scientific journals, conferences, finding applications for grants and exchanging information for other scientific activities.
By using ORCID private numbers, researchers will be able to digitize their scientific activities, identify them on other platforms, facilitate learning and integrate their data. These numbers are used in scientific journals, conferences, finding applications for grants and exchanging information for other scientific activities.
