“ ”Ensuring that faculty and their publications are
unequivocally connected is similarly important in
Hong Kong. Visibility to other researchers and
the broader community are reasons universities
in Hong Kong are integrating ORCID identifiers
into university directory and faculty profile
systems. “We want to solve the name
disambiguation problem once and for all, “ said
David Palmer of Hong Kong University.

ORCID and Institutional Reporting
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.

22. Authentication?
orcid.org 22
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.

ORCID provides:
✔ Plumbing for research information
✔ Tools to build trust in digital
information
Persistent digital identifiers to distinguish
researchers from each other
Member-built integrations enabling automated
links between researchers and their
activities/affiliations
A hub for machine-readable connections between
identifiers for organizations, funding, outputs, and
people

university systems,
exchange of

Our vision
ORCID’s vision is a world where all who participate in
research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely
identified and connected to their contributions across
disciplines, borders, and time.
National consortia agreements signed with Australia, Denmark, Italy, UK
Regional consortia agreements signed with CIC, GWLA, NERL in the US
Integrations include multi-platform (eg Elsevier – Scopus, Pure, manuscript submission).
Now 10 Search & Link wizards for connecting works to your ORCID record, most recently Redalyc (major Latin American database)
Only full name and email address is required to register for an ORCID identifier. All other fields are optional. Obviously, the more other data associated with the Identifier, the more it is possible to uniquely identify an individual, in particular when more than one record may have been created for the same individual. This why we encourage users to complement their identifier by entering data into their ORCID Record.
Record holders may designate another individual to serve as a proxy to manage their record, or their institution to serve as a delegated manager of their record.
Record holders may manage what data are seen by whom, by adjusting privacy settings, and by selecting trusted organizations with whom to share limited access data and/or update the record with information on research activities linked through workflows.
Organizations may register and create records for their employee, but unless they specify authority to present data publicly, the record will remain private until claimed by the researcher. And, at all times, the researcher has the ability to change privacy, proxy, and trusted party settings.
Field; Group; Activity
ORCID was formed to address the problem of name ambiguity in scholarly communications.
Interestingly, our recent community survey
(~6,000 respondents) indicated substantial
support or ORCID mandates.16 Seventy-two
percent o respondents agreed or strongly
agreed that mandates would beneit the
global research community, with 21% neu-
tral and only 7% disagreeing or disagreeing
strongly. Similarly, between about two-thirds
and three quarters o respondents thought it
would be useul or their publisher (75%),
under, institution (both 67%), or scholarly
society (64%) to mandate ORCID.
