2. 2
Digital scholarly communications require
information that is machine readable

3. Algorithms not enough
• Different versions (full
name vs. initials)
• Shared names
• Transliteration
• ALT characters
• Name changes
• Multiple family names

What is ORCID?
ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that
distinguishes researchers from each other
Member-built integrations in key research workflows
such as manuscript and grant submission support
automated linkages between researchers and their
professional activities and affiliations, ensuring that
works are appropriately attributed and discoverable
ORCID serves as a hub enabling machine-readable
connections between identifiers for organizations,
works, and person IDs

5. ORCID provides plumbing for
research information
orcid.org 5

6. “Enter once, re-use
often”
orcid.org 6

7. One researcher may have many
profiles or identifiers

Putting together the
puzzle:
• Connecting
researchers to
research
• Providing a hub
to connect
systems

11. orcid.org 11

12. Building trust:
orcid.org 12
• Tools to allow for easy addition of identifiers (for
people, places, and things) during publishing, grant
application, thesis deposit, etc.
• …and assertion of connection by trusted
organization

13. Researcher Responsibility
orcid.org 13
To benefit from ORCID, researchers
need only do two things:
① Register
② Use iD

14. orcid.org 14
Over 1.4 million researchers have registered!

15. ORCID responsibility
Build the infrastructure:
• Create the tools to allow for easy addition of
ORCID iD during publishing, grant application, thesis
deposit, etc.
• Engage the community to embed connection tools
• Ensure that the iD is published with the paper /
dataset / grant / thesis, etc., and ORCID record is
updated

27. Leveraging existing standards
orcid.org 27
ORCID works collaboratively
with the research community
to ensure adoption and use of
research information standards

28. The metadata “round trip” enables auto-updates
for systems linked to the ORCID registry
Metadata auto-updates

29. orcid.org 29
The author can pre-populate
submission form fields:
preferred name, affiliation,
funding
The authenticated iD becomes
a part of the paper
Upon publication, the iD is
indexed by CrossRef, Scopus,
Web of Science, and other
services.
Information flows through
ORCID to linked platforms

30. What can Institutions Do?
• Integrate ORCID iD using authentication
• Collect iD during staff/student onboarding
• Collect iD during thesis submission
• Connect iD to organization
• Update ORCID record
• Connect iD to faculty profile system
• Pull data from ORCID to update local system
orcid.org 30

31. Collect, Connect, and Update
orcid.org 31
• Click and Create
• Library Guide
• Training Sessions
• Theses and Dissertations
http://libguides.kaust.edu.sa/orcid

32. How does ORCID work?
• Members build integrations to connect
researchers to new works and affiliations
• Registry allows researchers to connect to
existing works and affiliations (free service)
orcid.org 32

33. • Take 30 seconds to
register at
http://orcid.org/register
• Free to researchers
• Individual owns the
record and controls
privacy settings
• Works on laptops,
tablets, and phones
Register for your

34. Getting started
Use free tools to connect your ORCID identifier to your name
variations, other IDs, affiliations, and existing works and funding

35. Connect to organization
27 July 2015 orcid.org 35
• List auto-populates based
on type-ahead
• All organizations have
unique iD
• University or employer can
pre-populate and validate
association
• Can associate with multiple
organizations

36. Connect to existing works
36
Connect your ORCID iD to
existing works using tools in
ORCID interface or in external
platforms
Researchers can
connect to existing
works and push
ORCID iD into
indexes including
Web of Science,
Scopus, and Europe
PubMedCentral

37. Updating award information
orcid.org 37
Researchers can connect
to existing projects AND
can receive updates when
grant awarded
Funders can
embed ORCID iD
during the grant
application
workflow
ORCID record includes,
funder name, grant number,
source, source provenance

38. • ORCID iDs in research information and profile
systems
• Connect ORCID iDs to repository systems
• Create ORCID records on behalf of faculty,
staff, or students
• Enable ORCID support in third party CRIS
systems or Repositories
• For research organisations that also act as
publishers, include ORCID iDs in the
publication process
orcid.org 38
Integration points

39. • Encourage researchers to register for
ORCID iDs and explain the benefits
• Explore free integrations via the public
API i.e. D-Space
• Create a libguide for researchers
• Consider membership options to ORCID
