ORCID:Open Researcher and

Contributor ID

An Open Registry of Scholarly IDs

CNI, San Diego. April, 2011

Estimated 6.2 million researchers from 16,000 organizations (including business sector, higher ed, government) and 6.7 million grad students;

Elsevier estimates 27 million researchers, without students (from Scopus).

Many researchers have common names, change names, or are otherwise difficult to uniquely identify

.

Problem Statement


Mission

ORCID, Inc. aims to solve the author/contributor name ambiguity problem in scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers and an open and transparent linking mechanism between ORCID and other current author ID schemes. These identifiers, and the relationships among them, can be linked to the researcher’s output to enhance the scientific discovery process and to improve the efficiency of research funding and collaboration within the research community.


Key Registration Points

Researcher Joins faculty or student body

Applies for grant

Submits manuscript

Helps track output offaculty and students

Helps perform researchassessment of grantees

Streamline data input,links authors to- publications- collaborators- other forms of communication

Why?

How will ORCID succeed?• Build Registry

• Universities – provide ORCIDs to community members• Funding Bodies – use ORCIDs in grant applications• Publishers – use ORCIDs on article submissions

• Leverage existing scholarly name id efforts• Publishers (ACM, Nature, Elsevier, Wiley, etc.)• Universities (Harvard, MIT, Cornell, Hong Kong, etc.)• Projects (ISNI, VIVO, etc.)

• Develop/Acquire Name Disambiguation Technology• Virtual International Authority File – matching technology from OCLC• ProQuest Author Resolver• OKKAM – EU project on large scale entity integration

Start Registering ORCIDs

Implement Business Model

ORCID Principles

1. ORCID will work to support the creation of a permanent, clear and unambiguous record of scholarly communication by enabling reliable attribution of authors and contributors.

2. ORCID will transcend discipline, geographic, national and institutional, boundaries.

3. Participation in ORCID is open to any organization with an interest in scholarly communications.


ORCID Principles

4. Access to ORCID services will be based on transparent and non-discriminatory terms posted on the ORCID website.

5. Researchers will be able to create, edit, and maintain an ORCID ID and profile free of charge.

6. Researchers control the defined privacy settings of their own ORCID profile data.


ORCID Principles

7. All profile data contributed to ORCID by researchers or claimed by them will be available in standard formats for free download (subject to the researchers' own privacy settings) that is updated once a year and released under the CC0 waiver.

8. All software developed by ORCID will be publicly released under an Open Source Software license approved by the Open Source Initiative. For the software it adopts, ORCID will prefer Open Source.


ORCID Principles

9. ORCID identifiers and profile data (subject to privacy settings) will be made available via a combination of “no charge” and “for a fee” APIs and services. Any fees will be set to ensure the sustainability of ORCID as a not-for-profit, charitable organization focused on the long-term persistence of the ORCID system.

10. ORCID will be governed by representatives from a broad cross-section of stakeholders, the majority of whom are not-for-profit, and will strive for maximal transparency by publicly posting summaries of all board meetings and annual financial reports.


ORCID Rapid Market Survey (Wellcome/MIT)

Scope (initial beta system)

• Focus on currently active researchers• Data will come from individuals and organizations• Hybrid system of self- and organization-asserted identities• Data collected will be that needed for disambiguation

(optional data for creating full CV-like profiles might be added in the future)

• The system will provide basic matching and disambiguation of names

• The system will, from the start, enable 3rd parties to build value added services using ORCID infrastructure

• ORCID services will be developed based on the needs of the ORCID community


ORCID

F67572010

Possible Matching Algorithms• VIAF matching technology from OCLC• Author Resolver from ProQuest• Matching capability from OKKAM

?

Profile Exchange R&D

Batch Upload and Download Services• Universities and Organizations can

batch upload profiles to generate ORCID IDs

• In Alpha, individual researchers must respond to system generated emails to claim their IDs and make their profiles live

• Solution depends on developing an administrative interface or integration with external administrative system

• Provenance of uploaded data will be stored in database

• Profiles can be batch downloaded by organizations


ORCID Alpha extended an existing system

• Joint affiliation sub organization

• Joint affiliation start date

• Joint affiliation role• Past affiliation

information (name, city, country, start date, end date, role)

• Personalization settings

• Opt in/out

• Description• User defined URLs• Privacy settings• Institution name• Sub organization• Sub organization Address• Sub organization role• Joint affiliation name

• ORCID Number• Name (first, last,

middle)• Other names• Email address• Persistent URL• Role• Subjects• Keywords

* Core list focused on disambiguation *

Alpha Data


Alpha Features• Easy registration process: Researchers fill out a registration form or have it

pre-populated with data from an ORCID partner system (e.g., Scopus, RePec, AuthorClaim).

• User-controlled privacy settings: The researcher controls how much/little information about him/herself that they want to make publically available.

• Local-language support: The database supports UTF-8 character-set. Searching by unicode characters is also supported.

• Search: The system supports search of public profiles by first/last name; institution; keyword; ORCID number. In addition, the system allows for browsing by keyword and supports auto-suggest for keyword and institution.

• Publication claiming: Researchers can perform a DOI search against CrossRef to add publications to their profile. A link to view the publication at the publisher’s site is also captured.

• Integration with ORCID partner systems: Services include the ability for partners to search ORCID, upload and download profile and publication information.

MIT Faculty Policy on Open Access

Who’s Published What?

No equivalent to the Research Excellence Framework in the US, so publication drivers are

• Promotion and tenure cases (infrequent)

• Faculty productivity evaluations (ad hoc)

Current options are evaluation-oriented, libraries not usually involved

e.g. Symplectic, Academic Analytics, Thomson InCites


Library Workflow

1. Search public/licensed article sources by institutional affiliation

2. Try to link results to individual faculty

80% automatic, 20% manual (i.e. 200 out of 1000 faculty)

3. Repeat

Expensive, inefficient, fragile


Enter ORCID

Each researcher assigned an ORCID with associated profile data known to their employing institution

Publishers request ORCID for new article submissions

Search public/licensed article sources by ORCIDs

Results are automatically linked to researcher’s local profile record (i.e. complete publication list)

No more ambiguity! OA mandate successfully implemented for prospective publications


Faculty Bibliographies

Older articles need to be linked to correct ORCID profile

In ORCID, do once per paper for all consumers rather than once per consumer

Leverages network of stakeholders, lowers cost to everyone


Next Steps

• Complete first phase of Profile Exchange R&D

• Establish data model, including provenance

• Finalize business model and secure start-up funding

• Complete 501(c)3 Filing

• Specify and build production system

• Add participants and key partners

• Launch!
