ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary, open, not-for-profit, community-driven organization. We collaborate with researchers and organizations across the research community.

Our core mission is to provide an open registry of persistent unique identifiers for researchers and scholars AND to automate linkages to research works by embedding identifiers in research workflows.

“Encourage adoption of unique persistent researcher IDs:

... The ORCID system also will allow individuals to identify their research output and create a registry of IDs. SciENcv will include a utility that make it easy for users to obtain an ORCID and to link it to their publications and grants.

”

ORCID members

ORCID has 61 members, from a broad cross-section of the international research community:

Standard: One organization joins. Option for basic or premium benefit levels. Discount for non-profits.

Consortium or Service Provider: One lead organization coordinates membership and technical implementation with group participants. Fee based on number of organizations in the group and benefit level. Discount for groups of 5 or more.

Nation: One lead organization coordinates membership and technical implementation with group participants. Fee based on national GDP.

How to join ORCID

Affiliations

• Much requested addition to ORCID registry

• Have not wanted to do “dumb” free text

• Will use ISNI institution ids via Ringgold

Growth in ORCID iDs

Via Website and API

Integrations significant

Available free to the community: registry (orcid.org), open source code (github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Source/wiki), sandbox for testing APIs (support.orcid.org/knowledgebase/articles/166623-about-the-orcid-sandbox), Public API, documentation, annual public data file (orcid.org/content/orcid-public-data-file), participation in Steering and Working Groups (orcid.org/about/community), iDEAS forum

Available to ORCID Members: Member API, OAuth token to support authentication, ability to serve as trusted party and read limited access data and write to/create records, biannual data files. Premium members get additional benefits including monthly usage reporting, monthly data files, webhooks, and higher bandwith access. 15

Open and member services

Easy REST API

• Public data available via public API

arXiv experiment

• How far can one get with DOI-based author matching?• ~7.5k author ids on arXiv with >=1 DOI• 68k author-DOI pairs• Query ORCID API for each DOI• See if arXiv and ORCID have matching author name (exact

only in expt)• Accept association if all examples for author match => 306

accepted• Better with fuzzy name match; more ORCIDs; etc.

ORCIDiDs

Publication and data

identifiers

arXivids

Deduce author id matches from author-publication links

Integration flows

1. Get a user’s ORCID iD2. Get data from an ORCID Record3. Let a user import from your system to their

ORCID Record4. Enable the user to display on their ORCID record

a link to themself on your system5. Create ORCID iDs for employees and associates

See guide: http://orcid.org/organizations/integrators

Cornell integration plans

• Library would like to promote ORCID adoption– good for our researchers– expose author identity in VIVO, eCommons, etc.

• Encourage ORCID iD creation, tie to VIVO accounts• New data via multiple routes
