2. What is the problem?
The research community has
lacked the ability to link
researchers and scholars with
their professional activities.
• Name ambiguity
• Discoverability within and across databases
• Author, grantee, and faculty record
management
• Output tracking
• Research reporting and impact assessment

18. Manually add works
Some of your works
may not be included
in the search results
to import.
You can add them
manually.

19. Interoperability with
ISNI
• Joint statement on interoperation
• 3-part technical implementation plan
• link ISNIs with ORCID records (Q4)
• create tools to harvest document metadata
from relevant databases

20. What can organizations do with ORCID?
ORCID APIs support system-to-system
communication and authentication. Through
these, organizations can:
• Get a user’s ORCID iD*
• Get data from an ORCID record
• Let a user import from your system to their ORCID
record
• Enable the user to display on their ORCID record a
link to themself on your system
• Create ORCID iDs for employees and associates

Editor's Notes
Name ambiguity is a fundamental issue we need to address and solve. Ambiguity may be the result of a common name, by a person with several language variants of their name, or by variations in how name information is collected. But, even after addressing name ambiguity, to support discoverability, we need to connect information across databases, disciplines, organizations, and nations. A persistent name identifier addresses both challenges.
The goal of ORCID is to provide a registry of unique and persistent identifiers that transcends organization, discipline, and nation. ORCID is a truly international endeavor. The registry is open: individuals may register, link, import and share information for no fee. But the registry isn’t enough. For ORCID iDs to be adopted they must be used. So the second part of our mission is collaborating with organizations throughout the research community to embed the iDs in research information systems and workflows.Our core mission is to provide an openregistry of persistent unique identifiers for researchers and scholars AND to automate linkages to research works by embedding identifiers in research workflows.ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary, open, not-for-profit, community-driven organization. We collaborate with researchers and organizations across the research community. ORCID was incorporated as a non-profit organization in September 2010.
So, it is a persistentiD, why should this matter? Why should researchers and organizations like yourselves take the time not only to get an ID, but to use it and embed it in your organizations workflows? It is a matter of interoperability.

But progress has been made so far – Researcher AdoptionThrough the end of August we have grown significantly since our October 2012 launch. We now have nearly 300,000 ORCID iD holders who have either registered for iDs using our website (represented in green or by the top sections of each bar), or because of directly encouragement from our member organizations (represented by the section labeled Oauth in blue, or the bottom section of each bar.)---http://support.orcid.org/knowledgebase/articles/150557-number-of-orcid-idsORCID iDs (includes deactivated iDs) 153560live ORCID iDs 153243deactivated iDs 317iDs that have a verified email addresses 93232iDs that have at least one work 45059Of those with DOIs, # of works with unique DOIs 679729
Notes for presenter:Here are the three simple steps you should take to enjoy all of the benefits. The following slides provide additional detail and support. You can go to http://orcid.org to begin this process.
Notes for presenter:Some of your works may not be included in the search results.You can add them manually by clicking on the “Add Manually” tab.Be sure to click “Save” before leaving this page.
Mention that the first two are supported by the Public API, the rest require membershipAnyone can register to test the APIs and integrations on the ORCID sandbox—no membership required.
Now have two publishers that have implemented end-to-end integration of ORCID identifiers, Hindawi and Nature. The first ORCID iDs were submitted with manusciupt metadata to CrossRef in March and to PubMed in April. We’ll see a demo od the Hindawi process today.
Mention Michigan and Texas A&M
Avedasand Symplectic are ORCID service providers, supporting ORCID identifier integration into university profile systems,ADD HARVARD
NIH is piloting ORCID identifiers in its ScienCV system. The public, beta version will be released in late summer 2013.
Notes for presenter:Don’t overlook easy opportunities to share your ORCIDiD (e.g., your email signature or CV)Design note:Feel free to replace these examples with ones that work better for your audience.
