2. Why promoting ORCID at NCCU?
n Resolving name ambiguity caused by identical names, same translation
names, authors indexed under more than one name, authors with name
variations throughout their publication career (for example, name
changes following marriage) and change of workplace, and so on.
n Ensuring that academic research outcomes can be correctly performed
attribution, citation and infometrics.
n Economizing the cost of maintaining Publications Catalogue by
directly importing publication lists from such as SCOPUS or WOS via
ORCID APIs.
n Enhancing Institute Repository system to integrate personal and
institutional research outputs to promote global visibility and improve
external evaluation results.

– Issuing an official document to all faculty members with the
President’s letter, User Guide of NCCU Faculty Publication
Catalogue System and individual/group reservation form for
registering ORCID.
– Posting an announcement on the NCCU Library’s website.
n Implementing Processes
– According to the reservation requests, the subject librarians go to the
designated location to assist faculties in registration and delegating
the trusted individual.
– Holding workshops by inviting database vendors to illustrate the
benefits ORCID would bring to the authors, contributors and
institutions.

7. Objectives of Different Phases
n Short term objectives：to encourage faculties to register for an
ORCID iD and help create personal catalogue of research
outputs of all forms to guarantee a correct measures of
academic influence.
n Mid term objectives：to build NCCU Scholars Hub to display
NCCU Talent Bank and academic achievements as well.
n Long term objectives: to increase the global visibility by
automatically importing NCCU research outputs into ORCID
based on ORCID APIs.

8. ORCID建置指引
Short-term Strategies: to encourage faculties to
register for an ORCID iD (1)
n Our approach is to write a computer program that can display an “ORCID
registration Guidance” link on Faculty Publication Catalogue System and
show the processes to guide faculties to delegate subject librarians as
trusted individuals.

9. provide information

& Resume System Subject librarians
Author Metadata
Short-term Strategies: to encourage faculties to
register for an ORCID iD (2)
The subject librarians help faculties to maintain publications
catalogue and create a simple author profile on ORCID.
p To create a complete publication lists in Scopus and
WOS databases.
p To set up the author’s affiliated institutions as NCCU.
p To start working with faculties who have once received
the Research Fellow Award from NCCU in the past few
years.
delegating subject
librarians as trusted
individuals

10. Short-term Strategies: to encourage faculties to
register for an ORCID iD (3)
n The subject librarians manually help faculties to retrieve and
collect the list of publications in Scopus or WOS and transfer
them into ORCID accounts.

11. Short-term Strategies: to encourage faculties to
register for an ORCID iD (4)
Holding Workshops on Creating and Maintaining ORCID
Publications Catalogue
-To teach PhD students and faculty assistants how to
transfer faculty publications spread over a number of
different databases (e.g. SSCI) to ORCID and at the same
time to promote ORCID applications.
