3. IRUS-UK and exposing ORCID iDs
10/11/2018
Welcome
Hi, I’m Hilary Jones and I will be presenting this webinar with my colleague, Paul Needham. Paul is our technical expert and we are both part of the small IRUS team.
If you have any questions you can add these into the chat box and there will be time to discuss them at the end.
IRUS-UK and exposing ORCID iDs

4. Introduction
IRUS-UK is a national aggregation service, enabling UK IRs to share and expose usage statistics at the individual item level, based on a global standard – COUNTER
Collects raw download data from UK IRs for all item types
Processes those raw data into COUNTER-conformant statistics
We have a growing number of participating repositories – currently 141
IRUS-UK is a national aggregator of repository usage statistics. Its purpose is to collate and provide institutional repositories with access to reliable, accurate standard-based usage statistics. These statistics are COUNTER-conformant and present opportunities for benchmarking at a national level.
It enables UK IRs to share and expose usage statistics, down to individual item level, based on a global standard. IRUS-UK collects all download data for all item types, not just articles. With a better understanding of their usage, they can share these with key internal and external stakeholders as well as allowing easy analysis of trends over time.
All participating IRs have agreed that their data is available to view for them and all the other participants, to anyone with Shibboleth login details. You do not need to register for a separate login and password but you do have to participate to see data for your own repository.

IRUS-UK
IRUS-UK is funded by Jisc, as part of the Repository Shared Services Project, which includes services to support all stages of workflows for UK institutional repositories such as deposit, metadata, discovery, and usage statistics.
It brings together key repository services to deliver a connected national infrastructure to support Open Access. The IRUS-UK team is a consortium, and we use the same expertise and team that cover JUSP, the Journal Usage Statistics Portal service, with input from Jisc, Cranfield University and Birmingham City University

6. Providing standards-based, reliable repository statistics
How is IRUS-UK used?
Use cases:
Providing standards-based, reliable repository statistics
Reporting to Institutional Managers
Reporting to Researchers
Benchmarking
Supporting Advocacy
Repositories use IRUS-UK in a number of different ways. Last year we took time to speak to a number of our users to understand more about how they use IRUS to support them in their work. From these interviews we produced a series of use cases, each of which includes an overview of what repository managers (and other repository staff) want to be able to do, how IRUS-UK can help, and quotes from repositories using it in this way.
One of the key themes from these was the ability to provide standards-based, reliable repository statistics. Knowing that the data goes through a series of filters and is COUNTER-conformant helps repositories know they can rely on the data to use within their institutions. Many use the statistics to report internally such as to institutional management or to researchers. A number use the data for benchmarking purposes, and are able to compare their download statistics with other repositories of a similar size/focus or from institutions they benchmark against in other areas. Some also use the data to support advocacy, for example using the data to feed into newsletters, s, and online statistics pages. These use cases are all available via the IRUS-UK website at the URL on the bottom of the slide. But note: reporting to researchers is problematic.

7. Reporting to researchers – up until now
In IRUS-UK you can search for
a specific item
results by author name
which can be constrained to a single repository
However, it’s a bit hit and miss
many researchers may share the same name
others have different names during their career
or there are different variations of the same name
J. Smith, John Smith, John J. Smith, etc.
The solution to this problem is the ORCID
ORCID = Open Researcher and Contributor IDentifier
a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes one researcher from every other researcher
immune to name variations or changes

8. Reporting to researchers – an ORCID prototype
Last year, IRUS-UK and White Rose collaborated to create a demonstrator utilising ORCIDs
White Rose has ORCIDs mapped in the RIOXX profile, e.g.
=oai:eprints.whiterose.ac.uk:76722
John Salter, at White Rose, created a custom ‘irus-orcid’ set for harvesting via OAI-PMH
-orcid
that led to some rapid development within IRUS-UK:
a couple of new database tables
a new script to grab RIOXX records containing the ORCIDs, process them, put them into our DB
a bit of work in the user interface, and We had an initial demonstrator in place
White Rose is a consortial repository incorporating the Universities of York, Leeds and Sheffield.
RIOXX is a Metadata Application Profile which provides a mechanism to help institutional repositories comply with the RCUK policy on open access.
OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) is a protocol that was developed to enable repositories to expose and share metadata about articles and other items they host.

9. IRUS-UK & ORCIDs – into production
That initial script was a bit rough and ready
Written to work against the White Rose RIOXX records
We’ve now worked on that prototype . . .
. . . And developed ‘productionised’ scripts to harvest ORCIDs and add them into IRUS-UK
We’re currently, regularly harvesting ORCIDs from IRs at
Open, Hull, LSTM, White Rose
We can add other IRs at the ‘push of a button’

10. IRUS-UK & ORCIDs – what next?
HE Institutions
At the moment relatively few institutional repositories are exposing ORCIDs
We need more institutions to adopt ORCIDs:
Embed them into your workflows
Incorporate ORCIDs in your repository metadata
Install RIOXX plugins (Eprints) / patches (DSpace)
Expose ORCID metadata via RIOXX in their OAI-PMH interfaces
05/06/2018

11. IRUS-UK & ORCIDs – what next?
As more RIOXX metadata becomes widely available from IRs
and includes ORCIDs!
and preferably funder/grant information!
Then we can add more functionality to the service
Search by ORCID
Targeted reports for researchers
Targeted reports for funders
Work with the ORCID API to enhance our metadata
And many other things we haven’t even thought of yet!
