researchers to disambiguate

BEFORE• First name• Last name• Middle name• Transliteration• By affiliation• By field• By journal• By co-authors …

WHY NAME DISAMBIGUATION?

One researcher may have many profiles or identifiers

PERSISTENT IDENTIFIERS

The term "persistent identifier" is usually used in the context of digital objects that are accessible over the Internet. Typically, such an identifier is not only persistent but actionable: you can plug it into a web browser and be taken to the identified source.

In EuroPMC, clicking on the author name linked with his/her ORCID will show the researcher profile with the number of publications & citations, and search results correctly.

11

• 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.

12

• 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

ORCID IS OPT-IN

13

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)

ORCID AUTHORIZATION

Submission systems can prompt authors to log in with their ORCID, and populate authors’ basic information (bio, email address etc), and embed ORCID iDs when the article is accepted.

19

ORCID @ PUBLICATIONS

ORCID AUTO-UPDATE

20

Author• Link own ORCID to author profile• Add ORCID to co-authors too

Notified by email

21

Give permissions to Crossref so your new publications will be automatically added to your ORCID record

ORCID PUBLISHER MANDATESMore and more publishers are providing options to link authors’ and reviewers’ ORCID in manuscript submission systems.Some publishers are starting to mandate ORCID.

CREDIT PEER REVIEW

Publishers can credit peer reviewers by inserting to one’s ORCID record

24

DISPLAY• In metadata• On sites• In publications

CONNECT• Affiliations (employers)• Works (publishers)• Awards (funders)

COLLECT & CONNECT

ORCID @ FUNDERS• Funders are starting to adopt ORCID in funding application

process• They can inject funding information to ORCID records with its

source clearly indicated = evidence

• 　

25

• Request permission during grant application• Collect identifier• Display in internal systems• Assert funding in ORCID record• Information available to reuse in other systems

26

ORCID @ INSTITUTIONS

Research institutions offer personal homepages where researchers can link their ORCID iDs and showcase their research output globally.

27

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

• 　

AUTHENTICATION?

28

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.

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

ORCID IS NOT A PROFILE SYSTEM

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 SAVES TIME

API FeaturesPublic APIFreely available to anyone

• Sandbox test environment freely available　• Create: Facilitate creation of new ORCID records (via on-demand

process)　• Authenticate: Get a user’s authenticated ORCID iD• Read (Public): Search/retrieve public data• No personalized support

Member APIORCID member organizations

All of above, and:• Read (Limited): Search/retrieve “limited-access” data• Add: Post new items to a record• Update: Edit or delete items you previously added• Personalized support, member newsletter, etc.

http://orcid.org/about/membership

• Researchers can save time if the organizations they interact with become ORCID members, connect iDs and their publications, funding, and other research activity records• We look forward to more Indian organizations

to join the ORCID community so that together we can help them spend LESS time onadmin process, and MOREon research activities
