4. Multiple Inventors
“Great discoveries and improvements
invariably involve the cooperation of many
minds. I may be given credit for having
blazed the trail, but when I look at the
subsequent developments, I feel the credit
is due to others rather than to myself.”
-Alexander Graham Bell

6. What does ORCID do?
v ORCID provides a unique and
persistent identifier that can be
used throughout one’s career,
across professional activities,
affiliations, and languages
v ORCID iD is integrated in
standard workflows and
embedded in works metadata,
independent of platform

7. How do we do it?
v ORCID is an independent non-profit organization
supported by member fees
v We provide an open registry of persistent unique
identifiers for researchers, and APIs for the
community to embed identifiers in research systems
and workflows
v Data marked public by researchers is published
annually by ORCID under a CC0 waiver
v ORCID code is available on our GitHub open
source repository and we support community
efforts to develop tools and services

8. Interoperability
v ORCID works collaboratively with the research
community to ensure use and adoption of
research information exchange standards

25. University profile system
Boston University is creating ORCID records for their faculty (optout) and students (opt-in). They envision ORCID iDs as part of
the university personnel system, access management, DSpace
repository, thesis submission, and for tracking trainees on grants.
