CONNECTING RESEARCH AND RESEARCHERS CrossRef Annual Meeting 14 November 2012

The Problem: Connecting Research with Researchers Without a way to discretely identify those participating in research across disciplines, organizations, and countries, the research community lacks the ability to accurately and easily identify and link researchers and scholars with their professional activities.

ORCID Scope & principles •  ORCID provides a central registry of persistent, unique and open

identifiers for active researchers and scholars

•  Adoption encouraged by embedding within research workflows (institutions, funders, publishers)

•  An ORCID record requires basic information (name, email) and can be enhanced with additional information (affiliations, degrees, digital objects, other identifiers)

•  Records can be created by individuals AND organizations; proxy management supported

•  Privacy is controlled by the individual (opt-in)

•  ORCID is a open initiative and we enable third parties to build value added services using ORCID infrastructure 3

ORCID Registry Launched October 16, 2012 For Individuals

•  Public Registry – Create an ORCID iD and search the Registry

•  Create an ORCID Record, link iD to other identifier schemes and synch data, and enhance iD with information on research activities

For Member Organizations

•  Updated APIs / XML

•  Create iDs for employees and students

•  Trusted relationship management to share information

The ORCID https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5109-3700 •  16-digit number

•  Expressed as an HTTP URI

•  Compatible with ISO 277729 standard

•  Last character is a checksum (ISO/IEC 7064:2006, MOD 11,2)

For benefits to be realized… Researchers must see the benefit of creating ORCID iD

Researchers must create or claim ORCID Account

Other research information systems must embed ORCID IDs and link back with ORCID to synchronize and update research activity data

ORCID Users and Members Three weeks after launch, ORCID had 15,728 registered users and 22 member organizations—funders, research organizations, associations, publishers, and third-party developers. JISC have endorsed ORCID for UK adoption, and we are working with other countries and national ID schemes to crosslink ORCID iDs.

Example Workflows

1. Linking to other IDs

Linking to an external ID can help an ORCID user quickly set up a record by importing their research works metadata. A wizard can be implemented for the user to review and confirm the works associated with the ID, and then import the list to their ORCID record. Any changes made can also be collected by the ID provider to correct internal databases.

 

 

1. Click on “Import” on ORCID Record Page 2. Select external ID to link to ORCID (not shown) 3. Approve data transfer

iDs.

2. Link Author Record to ORCID

1. The user clicks the ORCID link to update their Author Account.

2. The user signs in or registers on ORCID

3. The user authorizes Hindawi MTS client app to access ORCID data.

4. The user is redirected to Update Account page, now with ORCID ID displayed.

Coming…. •  When an author publishes an articles with Hindawi his/her list of publications on

ORCID will be updated with the new article. •  Adding a Link on Author page pointing to the ORCID Record. •  While submitting a paper an author will be able to search for his/her co-authors on

ORCID.

3. Integration in manuscript submission process

On nature.com and in NPG eJournal Press manuscript submission system

users can create or link to an ORCID ID. Clicking on “create” takes a user

to ORCID Registry.

1. Register on ORCID 2. Authorize data transfer

3. After authorization ORCID is attached in NPG database and is

not editable by user

NPG Customer Service can search using ORCID iD

Corresponding author can create or link to an

ORCID iD via NPG eJournal Press MTS

system Coming…

•  Corresponding author can search for co-authors using ORCID iD

Coming…

•  Corresponding author can search for co-authors using ORCID iD

4. Apps that consume ORCID data
