their time on research,
not reporting”

Can names be cleaned up?
Of course they can!
We need to use digital names:
persistent identifiers that uniquely
specify the person, organization, or
object to which a name refers

ORCID is Open
• Non-proprietary and platform-neutral
• International service that integrates
with other researcher identifiers
• Registry use is free for individuals

Over 2 million researchers have registered
for an ORCID identifier.
ORCID iDs are associated with:

14. “We want to use ORCIDs to simplify
the life of Oxford’s researchers for
working with institutional systems and
publishers’ systems by re-using already
available information for publication
data management and reporting.
The motto is: Input once – re-use
often.”

The ability to uniquely identify
contributors is a deceptively simple
concept which, if realised, could enable
forms of real-time understanding of
scientific research that up to now have
been extremely costly (if not impossible).
