The research community has lacked the ability to link researchers and scholars with their professional activities.

What is the problem?

• Discoverability within and across databases• Author, grantee, and faculty record management• Output tracking• Research reporting and impact assessment

4

Algorithms not enough• Different versions

(full name vs. initials)

• Shared names• Transliteration• ALT characters• Name changes • Multiple family

What is ORCID?ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from each other

Member-built integrations in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission support automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities and affiliations, ensuring that works are appropriately attributed and discoverable

ORCID serves as a hub enabling machine-readable connections between identifiers for organizations, works, and person IDs

ORCID provides plumbing for research information

ORCID is Open

• Non-proprietary and platform-neutral

• Registry use is free for individuals

• Independent non-profit membership organization

• Open data, software, APIs, and documentation

ORCID is Opt-in• ORCID is an opt-in system • You own and control your record

• ORCID record is portable and travels with you throughout your career

How does ORCID work?• Members build integrations to

connect researchers to new works and affiliations

• Registry allows researchers to connect to existing works and affiliations (free service)

• Take 30 seconds to register at http://orcid.org/register

• Free to researchers• Individual owns the

record and controls privacy settings

• Works on laptops, tablets, and phones

Closing remarks

orcid.org 40

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).--Jonathan Kram, Wellcome Trust

orcid.org 41

Shifting from a resource based to knowledge based

economy

In a nutshell, ORCID does

① Enable machine readability② Disambiguate and enforce uniqueness③ Enable linking and data integration

Persistent identifiers provide a simple basis for digital data

governance
