- 6. ORCID is an open, not-for-profit organization run by and for the research community We provide you with a unique identifier, your ORCID iD, that reliably and clearly connects you with your research contributions and affiliations You can use your iD in hundreds of systems – from grant application and manuscript submission to CRIS and other research information management systems, and more!

Editor's Notes
- Example 1 (slide 1) of why ORCID is needed
- Example 1 (slide 2) of why ORCID is needed
- Example 2 of why ORCID is needed Name ambiguity is one of the main problems - whether of people, places, or things. Persistent identifiers allow unambiguous connections between them Have you ever tried to search for an author, only to discover that he or she shares a name with 113 other researchers? ...or realized that Google Scholar stopped tracking citations to your work after you took your spouse’s surname a few years back? ...or had your name misspelled, making some of your work un-findable?
- Notes for presenter: ORCID is for everyone who contributes to research – not just authors and not just those in academia We are completely cross-disciplinary and international ORCID iDs are the only people identifiers that are open and non-proprietary, working across multiple systems and platforms so they are truly persistent and can be used through a researcher’s career Identifiers enable digital connections between people places and things, information that is persistent and uniquely identifiable, machine readable, accessible, and embedding identifiers in workflows make it immediately possible to ascertain HOW the connection was made, by whom, and when
- Notes for presenter: From the start ORCID was established to be non-profit, non-proprietary and community-driven. Our core principles establish that we be open to all who want to use a common person identifier for research activities and outcomes - regardless of country, discipline, or industry ORCID is independently governed by a Board of Directors – representatives from member organizations (majority not-for-profit) plus a researcher representative ORCID is supported by membership dues from our 500 or so (as of May 2016) member organizations. ORCID iDs are and always will be free for researchers Our members are integrating ORCID into their systems (around 250 so far). Non-member organizations can also build ORCID iDs into their systems using our public API, but with more limited functionality
- 80% of respondents to our 2015 survey (iD holders and non-iD holders) said this was an important or very important reason to register for an iD
- 67% of survey respondents overall said this was important or very important, but this was significantly higher in Africa (84%), Asia (78%) and Latin America (81%)
- Our mantra is: Enter once, reuse often. Connect your iD to other systems and profiles to simplify sign-in across systems, reduce time spent filling in forms and reports, and free up more time to do your research
- 80% of survey respondents believe that an ORCID iD makes it “easier for people to find and share my work”
- 78% of survey respondents said this was an important reason to register for an iD
- Researcher control of their ORCID record is a core ORCID principle (https://orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/principles)
- More and more organizations are now requiring researchers to use an ORCID iD, including several funders (see: https://orcid.org/blog/2015/12/04/research-funders-and-orcid-new-members-mandates-and-platforms) and publishers (https://orcid.org/content/requiring-orcid-publication-workflows-open-letter0
- There are already around 250 member integrations of ORCID in systems and platforms that researchers use every day, including all the major manuscript submission systems,several grant application systems, major research information management and CRIS systems, university systems, and more Collecting ORCID iDs from your users, displaying them in your public documents, and connecting and exchanging research information with ORCID, make the Internet work better for everyone – your researchers, your organization, and the whole community
- This is another core ORCID principle (https://orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/principles), recently reaffirmed by our Board (https://orcid.org/blog/2016/02/11/updates-orcid-governance-member-elections-and-more)
- “Persistent identifiers are a way of helping the internet work better for research” was – somewhat unexpectedly – the top reason that survey respondents who have an iD gave as their reason for registering
