What is ORCID ?

What is ORCID ?

The ORCID • Unique, persistent

identifier for researchers & scholars

• Free to researchers

• Can be used throughout one’s career, across professional activities, disciplines, nations & languages

• Embedded into workflows & metadata

• API enables interoperability between siloed systems

The ORCID Organization • Non-profit, non-

proprietary, open, and community-driven

• Global, interdisciplinary

• Supported by the membership of organizations using the ORCID API

Benefits

The research community has lacked the ability to link

researchers with their professional activities.

As a researcher, you want to

• eliminate name ambiguity, distinguishing you

from other researchers and ensuring proper

attribution.

• ensure your work is discoverable and

connected to you throughout your career;

• minimize the time you spend entering repetitive

data online



Common Names

“Estimates by China's Ministry of Public Security

suggest that more than 1.1 billion people —

around 85% of China's population — share just

129 surnames. Problems with abbreviations,

ordering of given names and surnames and

inconsistent journal practices heighten the

confusion.” http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080213/full/451766a.html

“Where possible, it is also recommended that

contributors be uniquely identifiable, and data

uniquely attributable, through identifiers which

are persistent, non-proprietary, open and

interoperable (e.g. through leveraging existing

sustainable initiatives such as ORCID for

contributor identifiers and DataCite for data

identifiers).”

Works are discoverable—and distinguishable from others—by iD, not just

name

Publishers are now

requesting ORCID iDs

in manuscript submission

ORCID iD is a part of the metadata—in addition to the author’s

name

Data then flows into

search tools like PubMed, Scopus, and

WOS

Success?

Hard to tell – ORCID IDs are personal

identifiers

Doubled the number of registrations with

UCD email extension – to ca. 600

Probably more, if personal email was used
