Chalmers University of Technology

• 10,000 students• 2,000 researchers• 2,500 scholarly publications

(2013)• Chalmers Publications Library

(CPL) – repository & publication database

• Open Access mandate• Special focus on bibliometrics

ORCID in Sweden

National study: ”Author Identifiers and Publication Databases” (2012)

• Recommends that ORCID should be the standard used for managing author identities in SwePub and the publication databases in Sweden

Swedish Research Council (VR) • makes ORCID mandatory in the new PRISMA grant application portal

(Q3 2014)

SwePub, national publication database• ORCID support for contributors in v. 2 (2014-)

SweCRIS, new national CRIS system (Q4 2014)

SWAMID, Swedish Academic Identification• ORCID support in SAML2 SSO

ORCID @ CHALMERS

ORCID institutional membership (2013)

• Creator License, access to Member API

• co-ordinated by the library, university mandate

Pilot study (2013)

• batch creation of ORCIDs for one department

Create & connect service (2014-)

• developed by the library and the central IT/HR dept, with a focus on identity infrastructure

• ORCIDs stored and managed in the central HR system (PDB)

• connected in repository & publication/metrics databases

• one-stop solution for all things concerning ORCIDs at Chalmers

Background for membership

• Reason for membership?

• As participants in the project 2012, we were following the launch and development of ORCID.

• Interest and positive response from univ & dep management and researchers, when we presented ORCID.

• Support for staff that wanted to create ORCID.

• Preparation to support ORCID as part of national infrastructure.

• Support from legal office. Concerns regarding transfer of personal data outside of EU.

Pilot study (2013)

• Department of Space and Geo Sciences, approx. 150 researchers

• Initiative from the library and from the head of department

• Object of the pilot was to try out the API and workflows and to learn about responses from the from researchers

• Batch creation of ORCIDs, using the Member API

• Mixed result, slow responses in some cases

• Conclusions• early adoption - too early?

• creation of ORCIDs should probably be initiated by the individual researcher in the first phase

Some thoughts

• ORCID is a new infrastructure and is still in development.

• Very good support from ORCID staff during implementation.

• ORCID model requires involvement from the researchers. But: What’s in it for me? We still need to show practical value for the individual researcher.

• ORCID should be viewed as a part of an evolving standardization and improvement for the management of research information.
