AB  - Quantitative data are crucial in the assessment of research impact in the 
      academic world. However, as a young university created in 2009, King Abdullah 
      University of Science and Technology (KAUST) needs to aggregate bibliometrics 
      from researchers coming from diverse origins, not necessarily with the proper 
      affiliations. In this context, the University has launched an institutional 
      repository in September 2012 with the objectives of creating a home for the 
      intellectual outputs of KAUST researchers. Later, the university adopted the 
      first mandated institutional open access policy in the Arab region, effective 
      June 31, 2014. Several projects were then initiated in order to accurately 
      identify the research being done by KAUST authors and bring it into the 
      repository in accordance with the open access policy. Integration with ORCID has 
      been a key element in this process and the best way to ensure data quality for 
      researcher's scientific contributions. It included the systematic inclusion and 
      creation, if necessary, of ORCID identifiers in the existing repository system, 
      an institutional membership in ORCID, and the creation of dedicated integration 
      tools. In addition and in cooperation with the Office of Research Evaluation, the 
      Library worked at implementing a Current Research Information System (CRIS) as a 
      standardized common resource to monitor KAUST research outputs. We will present 
      our findings about the CRIS implementation, the ORCID API, the repository 
      statistics as well as our approach in conducting the assessment of research 
      impact in terms of usage by the global research community.
