Why, What & How: The role of ORCID in Research Management 2016 UAE Workshop Sunday 6 March

Matthew Buys Regional Director, ORCID

m.buys@orcid.org http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7234-3684

The research community has lacked the ability to link researchers and scholars with their professional

activities. •  Name variations:

§ Matthew J Buys, MJ Buys, M Buys, Matthew John Buys, 修 入, МэтьюБайс

•  Institutional variations: § ORCID, ORCID Incorporated, ORCID Inc, ORCID

EMEA

Why is there a problem?

2

Algorithms cannot solve this

•  Different versions (full name vs. initials)

•  Shared names •  Transliteration •  ALT characters •  Name changes •  Multiple family names

•  Discoverability of research outputs in databases and institutional record management

•  It is a challenge to find the unique researchers or institution without a unique persistent iD (ORCID)

•  ORCID allows for simple searching of a specific iD and creates an authority record i.e. http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7234-3684

First challenge

4

• Output tracking, research reporting and impact assessment •  It is extremely difficult for an institution to conduct

research evaluation without a unique persistent iD (ORCID) or an institutional iD

•  It is possible to ensure that the institutional name that is captured in ORCID enabled publisher systems is correct i.e. ORCID Inc

•  This enables better research evaluation and improved integrity of data in the research ecosystem

Second challenge

Interoperability???

Research Data

Institutional Challenge: Silo Systems

6

Solution: ORCID enables interoperability

7

ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from each other

Activities linked to ORCID Professional activities (Education, Employment, Funding and Works) can be added by an individual or automatically by an ORCID member organization through the API – as well biography

Systems

•  The ORCID API explained •  Provides systems to system connections

•  Automates flow of information

•  Improves efficiency and reduces administrative burden

•  Includes a persistent iD (ORCID iD) for uniqueness and interoperability (exchange of information between systems)

ORCID community integrations

•  Funders: COLLECT iDs at grant submission and review; PUBLISH with award; POST grant IDs researcher record; RECEIVE updates

•  Universities: COLLECT iDs for new staff and students, at thesis submission, in faculty profile systems; POST affiliation IDs; RECEIVE updates

•  Publishers and Repositories: COLLECT iDs for authors, contributors, and reviewers; PUBLISH iD with work, POST paper, dataset, review IDs; RECEIVE updates

•  Associations: COLLECT iDs for members, authors, and meeting participants; POST affiliation and presentation IDs; RECEIVE updates

Integration Process

Technically, integrating ORCID involves adding <person ID> and <source> fields to data models, mapping to ORCID API, and implementing OAuth and RESTful calls.

Socially, it is critical that researchers are engaged in the process.

•  Requiring ORCID in Publication Workflows: Open Letter •  Major publishers have committed to requiring ORCID iDs in

the publishing process for their journals and invite other publishers to do the same.

•  To date 16 publishers have signed the letter, including: §  PLOS, eLife, EMBO Press, American Geophysical Union,

IEEE, Hindawi, Science journals, ScienceOpen, Frontiers, JMIR Publications, Grupo Cominicar Ediciones, Military Technical Courier, The Company of Biologists, IDEA (Instituto de Estudios Avanzados) de la Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), Faculty of 1000

Publisher Updates

orcid.org 21

•  Uniquely identify a researcher and their research •  Reduce administrative burden •  Improve data integrity that feeds into

the university ranking data through ORCID connected publishers

•  Better tracking of research outputs •  Career tracking of thesis/dissertation students •  Integration with research management and

institutional repository systems (and other systems such as HR)

Key benefits

…. enter data once and reuse this many times. Key functions: •  Standard/compliant CVs •  Interoperable systems •  Public presence of research •  Embed unique identifiers into the workflow •  Compliance with standards •  Accurate reporting

Enabling innovation through functional information management systems

Digital ecosystem of the future

The ability to uniquely identify contributors is a deceptively simple

concept which, if realised, could enable forms of real-time understanding of scientific research that up to now have

been extremely costly (if not impossible). --Jonathan Kram, Wellcome Trust
