2. What is ORCID?

3. Who we are Founded in 2010; service started in 2012
Non-profit, non-proprietary, open
Global, interdisciplinary, independent
Researcher-centered
Supported by organizational memberships

4. 4

5. ORCID provides a
persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from each other … and MORE

6. Why name disambiguation?
BEFORE
AFTER
First name
Last name
Middle name
Transliteration
By affiliation
By field
By journal
By co-authors …

7. There are 38 authors whose last name is “Wang”
There are 38 authors whose last name is “Wang”

8. One of them used ORCID so he is distinguished from other “Wang”
CLICK
One of them used ORCID so he is distinguished from other “Wang”

9. CLICK
In EuroPMC, clicking on the author name linked with his/her ORCID will show the researcher profile with the number of publications & citations, and search results correctly.

10. He uses ORCID so he is distinguished from other Wang C.
The author Chengshu Wang is often listed as Wang C in his publications.
He uses ORCID so he is distinguished from other Wang C.
His publications are searchable by his ORCID (not by name) in EuroPMC,
… and links back to his ORCID record to show his bio, and more publications.

11. ORCID is OPT-in ORCID is an opt-in system
You own your record and control visibility
You can give explicit permissions to ORCID member organizations so they can read and update your record on your behalf

12. ORCID member organizations
Researcher
ORCID record
Basic information
Name
addresses　　　　　　etc.
Account settings
Biography, Education, Affiliation
Research activities
Publication
Peer review
Patents
Grants　　etc.
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Register & Manage ORCID record
Permissions to use ORCID record
Add & update activities
ORCID member organizations

13. ORCID enables assertions
ORCID member organizations ensure persistent identifiers for people, places, and things are connected in research workflows

14. ORCID is NOT a profile system
Profile systems
Open
Allows assertion
Managed by researchers + ORCID community
Proprietary & closed
Value add
Managed by researchers themselves

15. Link to other identifiers

16. ORCID is a hub
Repositories
Funders
Higher Education and Employers
Professional Associations
Other person identifiers
Publishers
ORCID connects different ID systems through open & persistent identifiers
Machine-readable
Interoperable
DOI
ISBN
ORCID was formed to address the problem of name ambiguity in scholarly communications.

17. Orcid provides: Plumbing for research information
Tools to build trust in digital information
Persistent digital identifiers to distinguish researchers from each other
Member-built integrations enabling automated links between researchers and their activities/affiliations
A hub for machine-readable connections between identifiers for organizations, funding, outputs, and people 18

18. How ORCID works

19. publications

20. ORCID in manuscript submission
More and more publishers & associations adopt ORCID in manuscript submission process

21. ORCID auto-update Publisher Author Link own ORCID to author profile
Add ORCID to co-authors too
Publisher
Embed authors’ ORCID in the metadata when the manuscript is accepted
Check authors’ ORCID in the metadata when assigning DOIs to new publications
Receive new publication info from Crossref and add to authors’ ORCID records
Notified by

22. OAuth authentication Log in with an existing ORCID iD
or Create a new iD if you don’t have one

23. Researcher permissions
Give permissions to Crossref so your new publications will be automatically added to your ORCID record

24. ORCID Single Sign-on
Use ORCID to log in multiple journal sites

25. ORCID publisher mandates
Other publishers requiring ORCID iDs in 2016: PLOS, eLIFE, Science, Hindawi, IEEE, AGU…
Publishers starting to mandate ORCID in manuscript submission

26. Credit peer review
Publishers can credit peer reviewers by inserting to one’s ORCID record

27. Databases
ORCID data feed allows databases to insert ORCID iDs retrospectively in their records

29. ORCID in RIMs
Profile systems, CRIS, and RIMs are integrating ORCID: single/federated sign on, connecting iDs to university systems, exchange of information, updating information, asserting affiliation
Some examples:
Piirus
ResearcherID
VIVO
SciENcv
PURE
Symplectic
Converis
InfoEd
University Office
Publons
Academic Karma
….and many home-grown systems

30. ORCID @ Funders Request permission during grant application
Collect identifier
Display in internal systems
Assert funding in ORCID record
Information available to reuse in other systems

31. Collect & Connect
Publishers and Repositories: COLLECT iDs for authors, contributors, and reviewers; PUBLISH iD with work, POST paper, dataset, review IDs; RECEIVE updates
Associations: COLLECT iDs for members, authors, and meeting participants; POST affiliation and presentation IDs; RECEIVE updates
Funders: COLLECT iDs at grant submission and review; PUBLISH with award; POST grant IDs researcher record; RECEIVE updates
Universities: COLLECT iDs for new staff and students, at thesis submission, in faculty profile systems; POST affiliation IDs; RECEIVE updates
In 2016 we are launching a
“Levels Program” to clearly articulate how
organizations can and should be collecting
and connecting ORCID identifers. Our goals
are to clariy goals and expectations across
sectors and improve the trust in connections
between researchers and their proessional
afliations and activities. We will be enhanc-
ing our current guidance by defning prior-
ity implementation scenarios by sector and
developing streamlined communications and
technical documentation.17 ORCID is a com-
munity eort: to beneft, all must participate.

33. ORCID in repositories

34. ORCID @ Repositories DataCite Dspace ePrints EThOS HUBzero
Hydra/Fedora
InSPIRE
Vireo
Reactome

35. “From the 5,523,577 articles with a DOI that existed in the CORE collection, we discovered that 196,713 different authors had an ORCID id, and 927,645 articles included at list one ORCID id.”

36. Repositories
Example: King Abdullah University of Science & Technology
It is the researchers that benefit greatly from ORCID iDs. They can use them throughout their career, and can already use them to distinguish themselves in publications and grants. And many are starting to see the benefits of using ORCID records in outcome tracking. For example, researchers in Portugal who receive federal funding provide their ORCID iD, and benefit from coordinated outcomes reporting by using the ORCID registry as a hub.

37. Collect, Connect, and Update

38. Institutions
Research institutions offer personal homepages where researchers can link their ORCID iDs and showcase their research output globally.

39. ORCID @ national database

40. findable accessible interoperable reusable
ORCID is FAIR
ORCID aligns with FAIR guiding principles:
findable
accessible
interoperable
reusable 41

41. Thoughts for integrations
Is the repository:
Does the organization:
Self-archiving?
With unique contents?
Automatic sync, or manual update?
DOI?
Open source, proprietary, self-build?
Has multiple integration points?
Has technical resources?
Benefit from ORCID?

42. ORCID community

43. The ORCID COMMUNITY Over 2.7 million researchers
550 members from 39 countries, including national consortia in the UK, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and 4 regional consortia in the US
Over 250 integrations in each sector of the research community

48. It’s a community effort!
ORCID is a community effort
It’s a community effort!

49. Why membership?
Researchers can save time if the organizations they interact with become ORCID members, connect iDs and their publications, funding, and other research activity records
They need support from their affiliated organizations to understand
What is ORCID
Why use ORCID
How to make it easy and spend LESS time on admin process, and MORE on research activities
