Implementing digital identifiers in peer review workflows will: •  Enhance discoverability of peer reviewers

and their associated works and affiliations •  Make peer review activities measurable

ORCID provides plumbing for research information—and the

tools to build trust

What is ORCID?

ORCID provides persistent machine-readable names (aka digital identifiers) for researchers. Member-built integrations of ORCID identifiers 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

To benefit from ORCID, researchers need only do two things: ①  Register (30 seconds) ②  Use iD (30 seconds)

28 April 2015 orcid.org 8

Over 1.3 million researchers have registered for an ORCID identifier.

ORCID identifiers are associated with: •  2 million unique DOIs •  20 thousand unique educational affiliations •  30 thousand unique employing organizations

Building trust:

•  Create the tools to allow for easy addition of identifiers (for people, places, and things) during publishing, grant application, thesis deposit, etc.

•  Engage the community to embed, authenticate, and assert

ORCID iDs are being embedded in articles

... and grants…

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.

..AND the author’s ORCID record is updated with provenance

Information flows through ORCID to linked platforms

Peer Review Citation Data Elements

http://dictionary.casrai.org/Peer_Review_Services

Where are we? •  Journals starting to collect ORCID iDs from

reviewers; funders planning workflows •  ORCID building out user interface and APIs to

support posting of peer review data •  Planning pilot studies with F1000 and other

platforms to test out record update process

28 April 2015 orcid.org 15

Challenges: •  Peer review activities must be associated

with identifiers—for the reviewer, the activity itself, and the reviewer affiliation

•  Connections between identifiers must be made using authentication
