• The author Chengshu Wang is often listed as Wang C in his publications.

• He uses ORCID so he is distinguished from other Wang C in databases.

• His publications are searchable by his ORCID (not by name) in EuroPMC,

• … and links back to his ORCID record to show his bio, and more publications.

HOW TO STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD?• ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID)

is a persistent, unique identifier that you can use throughout your academic career.

• More than 3.0 million researchers have registered for an iD that helps distinguish them from others, and correctly link their academic work and contributions.

• Science, PLOS, IEEE, and other distinguished international journals are starting to mandate ORCID when you submit your manuscripts.

• This session will give you a quick understanding on what ORCID is, how it is being used, and why.

Researchers can • create, edit and

maintain an ORCID record

• for free of charge

• control privacy settings for every item

USER PRIVACYInformation in an ORCID Record has a privacy setting, which is set by the account owner (yourself)

• Individuals can register and use ORCID for free of charge whether or not their employer is a member• ORCID is an opt-in system. The researcher

controls their record: registration, linked information, privacy and access settings• ORCID member organizations use ORCID

API and help to maintain ORCID records by getting permissions from each researcher

MEMBERS BUILD TRUST• ORCID member organizations can facilitate and receive

electronic permissions from researchers so that they can help manage their ORCID records. For example:• Universities can assert their researcher’s affiliation• Publishers can add review contributions for their reviewers• Funding organizations can add funding awards to their winner’s

ORCID• DOI agencies automatically add new publications as ORCID works

• In addition to the information added by researchers themselves, ORCID member organizations add and update researchers’ activities on their ORCID and build academic trust in the ORCID registry

• 　

Librarian:“All our researchers should sign up for an ORCID iD, and we teach them how. We also encourage Google Scholar, ResearchGate, etc.”

It’s another chore for researchers unless your system is connected.

ORCID• Open• Managed by

researchers + ORCID community

Profile systems• Proprietary & closed• Managed by

researchers themselves

WE NEED YOU TO HELP!• Researchers can save time if the

organizations they interact with become ORCID members, connect iDs and their publications, funding, and other research activity records• They need YOUR support to understand• What is ORCID• Why use ORCID• How to make it easy

and spend LESS time onadmin process, and MOREon research activities

26

AUTHENTICATION?

27

Use an authenticated API to collect iD (username & password) to ensure the person and the iD belong together, the iD is correct (no typos), and that privacy is respected.
