2. What does ORCID do?
v ORCID provides a unique and
persistent identifier that can be
used throughout one’s career,
across professional activities,
affiliations, and languages
v ORCID iD is integrated in
standard workflows and
embedded in works metadata,
independent of platform

3. How do we do it?
v ORCID is an independent non-profit organization
supported by member fees
v We provide an open registry of persistent unique
identifiers for researchers, and APIs for the community
to embed identifiers in research systems and
workflows
v Data marked public by researchers is published
annually by ORCID under a CC0 waiver
v ORCID code is available on our GitHub open source
repository and we support community efforts to
develop tools and services

4. Interoperability
v ORCID works collaboratively with the research
community to ensure use and adoption of research
information exchange standards

5. Broad international usage

6. ORCID iD adoption in PT
v Very short implementation time,
remarkably successful despite
that
v Still some issues when listening to
researchers: feeling of additional
administrative burden, uneven
STM/SSHcoverage
v Need to dissociate ORCID from
Scopus import user experience,
eg by offering researchers good
and useful integrations

7. ORCID Integration Chart

8. Integration Opportunities
v Institutional integrations: IRs +
CRISs. Opportunities for extending to
HR, Financial systems
v Communication: let researchers
know what they can do now and what
they'll be able to do in the future
(publishers, funders)
v RCAAP: repositories/journals
v DeGóis: avoid need for researchers
to provide duplicate entries into
different systems!

16. University profile system
Boston University is creating ORCID records for their faculty
(opt-out) and students (opt-in). They envision ORCID iDs as
part of the university personnel system, access management,
DSpace repository, thesis submission, and for tracking
trainees on grants.
