1. David.Lawrence@liu.se Linköpings University Library ORCID

2. Currently  As a researcher, one often has an identifier in many systems. For example ResearchID (Web of Science), ScopusID, LiU ID (plus previous employment locations), funding agencies…  Information is entered repeatedly for each system  “A. Svensson” is not unique and so for those looking to find about your work (e.g. funders, employers, reviewers…) it can be hard if not impossible  Authors aren’t consistent with their own names:  D. Lawrence, A.D. Lawrence… 2

3. The solution: ORCID  Open Researcher and Contributor ID (http://orcid.org/)http://orcid.org/  Run by a non-profit organization backed by, e.g., MIT, Harvard, Nature, Blackwell-Wiley, Wellcome Trust…  Concept is to create a single ID for researchers where all aspects of their career can be coupled  Publications  Funding applications  Local activity  Saves challenges with using personnummer  You control how much of your info at ORCID is public 3

4. ORCID  Went live, October 2012  Currently more than 1.2 million researchers with ID  VR and other Swedish funding agencies have a new application portal which will make use of ORCID (mandatory)  DiVA  SwePub  VR  Many journals allow you to include ORCID when submitting articles  ORCID is set to become the de-facto standard for identification in the research world 4

5. To get an ORCID (minimum, takes 30 s)  Go to http://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/  Click on “Register now” (direct link: https://orcid.org/register) https://orcid.org/register  Fill in your name, email address etc.  Send your ORCID (a 16-digit number, often presented as a link: e.g. http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3993-9985 (it is the number that is your ORCID)) to ep@ep.liu.se. We will then see that your ORCID is added to all your DiVA posts.  If/when LiU centrally starts collecting ORCID, we will send our collection  Start using your ORCID when submitting articles to journals and in grant applications. 5

6. ORCID: advisable  Fill in the biography section with a little about yourself  Provide links to your research webpages 6

7. ORCID: if you want  Import publications from Scopus, Web of Science (ResearcherID), European PMC (in theory we could import publications from DiVA to ORCID, but that requires LiU to enter a membership plan with ORCID; at present that is not an option) 7

Updates and reminders  VR’s (Forte, RJ, FORMAS… ), EU’s rules on open access:  All journal and conference articles must be freely available within 6 months, (12 months for HSS) of publishing date  Follow-up: non-OA material not allowed in project reporting  Chapters and books coming  Data coming  Don’t forget Parallel publishing  Be very careful when choosing journals: predatory publishers are on the rise (contact us: david.lawrence@liu.se) 12

13. Updates, cont’d  New national research funding allocation model coming  Proposal for national guidlines on OA:  By 2025: publically funded articles, chapters, books, research data must be OA with a CC-by license. 13
