ORCID inPublishers workflows

As persistent identifiers for contributors to the research process, ORCID forms the basis of precise and durable mechanisms of credit.

Additional benefits – ORCID has the potential to:

ü Disambiguate databases of users

ü Simplify manuscript submission - author service

ü Improve discoverability and search

ü Connect authors to related contributions elsewhere, inter-

operating with an ecosystem of identifiers

ü Extend credit from authors to reviewers and editors

Auto-update

With ORCID integration, Authors and their administrators no longer need to keep profiles updated manually

CRediT – Contributor Roles Taxonomy

A simple taxonomy of research contributions developed under the auspices of CASRAI and NISO.

- Includes but not limited to traditional authorship roles

- Makes contributions machine-readable and portable

Become portable to ORCID record, CV, faculty profile, etc

Credit for peer review

On January 7, 2016, a coalition of publishers sign an Open Letter committing to start requiring ORCID IDs in 2016.

1. Implementing best practices for ORCID collection and auto-update of ORCID records upon publication

2. Require ORCID IDs for corresponding authors and encourage for co-authors

Thanks for listening!
