“We want to use ORCIDs to simplify the life of Oxford’s researchers for working with institutional systems and publishers’ systems by re-using already available information for publication data management and reporting. The motto is: Input once – re-use often.”Wolfram Horstmann, Assoc. Director, Bodleian Libraries, Univ Oxford

“AGU is implementing ORCIDs in our member records, editorial databases, and papers. Having the ability to uniquely identify scientists helps the society, editors, authors, and members in many ways, from improving efficiency to providing services and support.”Brooks Hanson, Dir Publications, American Geophysical Union  http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6230-7145

Wellcome Trust OA Study“No naming authority was imposed on the file, so entities have a variety of names. For instance, the American Chemical Society is referred to in a number of ways — ACS, ACS Publications, American Chemical Society, and The American Chemical Society, among others. PLOS ONE is listed in a similar variety of ways, as are most of the publishers and journals with multiple entries…..By allowing authors to freestyle the name of the payee, we are creating a very loose data source for analysis.”

• CASRAI provides harmonized terminology & object definitions for research management entities such as persons, projects, etc.

• CERIF provides data format for storage & exchange

• Organizations including ORCID, ISNI, Ringgold, CrossRef, DataCite provide persistent identifiers for people, places, and content

Shared Standards

April 9, 2023 orcid.org 6

What are standard identifiers?

• Numeric or alpha-numeric persistent designations associated with a single entity

• Entities can be an institution, person, or piece of content

…and what do they do, exactly?

Disambiguate and enforce uniqueness

Enable linking and data integration

In other words, identifiers provide a simple basis for data governance

“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).”

Support by CRIS vendors

April 9, 2023 orcid.org 21

To date, over 18,000 records have been created by univerities on behalf of their researchers. The claim rate is ~36%.

ORCID is a researcher-driven tool. Researchers must use the identifier as they publish/apply/upload/onboard for prospective disambiguation to be realized.

When creating records, we need to think carefully about how to engage researchers and ensure they take ownership of and use their ORCID iD.

It may be that facilitating record creation and then providing linking tools will be more effective than a bulk create process.
