What is ORCID?

ORCID provides persistent machine-readable names (aka digital identifiers) for researchers. Member-built integrations of ORCID identifiers in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission support automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities and affiliations, ensuring that works are appropriately attributed and discoverable ORCID serves as a hub enabling machine-readable connections between identifiers for organizations, works, and person IDs

ORCID provides plumbing for research information

Integration in research systems

12 June 2015 orcid.org 6

Over 200 members and nearing 200 integrations in every region and sector of the

international research community.

Americas 48%

EMEA 36%

Asia Pacific 16%

Funder 7%

Publishing 16%

Repository 20%

Research Institute

45%

Association 12%

Over 1.4 million researchers have registered for an ORCID identifier.

ORCID identifiers are associated with: •  2 million unique DOIs •  20 thousand unique educational affiliations •  30 thousand unique employing organizations

Identifier plumbing—coupled with authoritative provenance—provides

the foundation for building trust

BIBFRAME

12 June 2015 orcid.org 11

BIBFRAME serves as a general model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data. A BIBFRAME Authority is a resource representing a person, family, organization, jurisdiction, meeting, place, topic, or temporal expression associated with a BIBFRAME Work, Instance, or Annotation. BIBFRAME Authorities are not designed to replace or compete with existing authorities but rather to provide a common abstraction layer, or wrapper, around them

Building trust:

•  Tools to allow for easy addition of identifiers (for people, places, and things) during publishing, grant application, thesis deposit, etc.

•  Engage the community to embed, authenticate, and assert

ORCID iDs are being embedded in articles

Add your ORCID identifier during the grant

application process

Wellcome Trust integrated ORCID iDs into its eGrants application system in 2013. Over 1500 applicants registered for an ORCID during application, prior to Wellcome mandating use in 2015.

The metadata “round trip” enables auto-updates for systems linked to the ORCID registry

Metadata auto-updates

http://orcid.org/blog/2015/01/13/new-webinar-metadata-round-trip

•  Over 180,000 articles have been submitted to CrossRef with an associated ORCID iD

•  These will start to flow into the ORCID registry this year

•  Researchers who use their ORCID iD when they publish will not need to manually update their record in ORCID or in connected systems

National approach

Community starting to take a national approach to ORCID adoption and implementation.

•  Austria: Funder requirement 2016 •  Italy: National implementation 2015 •  Finland: National recommendation 2015 •  Australia: National recommendation 2015 •  Denmark: University launch 2014 •  Portugal: Funder requirement 2013 •  Sweden: National recommendation 2013 •  UK: National recommendation 2012
