3. The problem with names
Are these authors all the same person?
G. Thorisson, University of Leicester How about these?
G. A. Thorisson, University of Leicester
G. A. Thorisson, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Or these?

[..] ∼2/3 of the ∼6 million authors in MEDLINE share a last name and first initial with at
least one other author, and an ambiguous name refers to ∼8 persons on average.

4. The problem with names (cont)
• Number of authors and other
scholarly contributors is increasing
• Number & kinds of “works” they
contribute to is increasing

5. The problem with names (cont)
• Number of authors and other
scholarly contributors is increasing
• Number & kinds of “works” they
contribute to is increasing
‣ The scholarly record is broken
‣ Reliable attribution of authors and contributors is
impossible without unique person-level identifiers

6. Use cases for contributor IDs
• Why?
– Attribution - link content creators with their works and attribute credit
appropriately
– Discovery - who contributed to publication X?
which publications has person/organization Y contributed to?
• What kind of contributions?
– Characterizing ‘contributorship‘:
role: author, creator, analyst, reviewer
contribution: ‘conceived of study & designed experiment’, ‘wrote paper’, ‘performed
experiments’
• LHC example: ~2000 ‘authors’ and ~170 institutions

8. WHO CARES? Lots of people!
• Publishers who publish researchers’ work
– Accurate author info, dealing with coauthors, generally managing the peer-
review & publishing process
• Institutions that employ researchers
– Evaluating performance of research staff, tenure decisions
• Funders who give researchers money
– Which PI scientists are getting funded, who are their co-applications, track which
research outputs were produced by a given grant
• Researchers!
– Automated CVs, receive credit, save time when submitting manuscripts to
journals

9. The Open Researcher &
Contributor ID initiative
‣ ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary
organization involving multiple stakeholders:
- Research institutions, libraries, funding organizations,
publishers, intermediares and individual researchers
‣ Started in late 2009 to solve the name ambiguity
problem in scholarly communication.
‣ Incorporated as a non-profit with a Board of
Directors in August 2010.

10. ORCID Principles
1. ORCID
will
work
to
support
the
crea7on
of
a
permanent,
clear
and
unambiguous
record
of
scholarly
communica7on
by
enabling
reliable
a@ribu7on
of
authors
and
contributors.
2. ORCID
will
transcend
discipline,
geographic,
na7onal
and
ins7tu7onal,
boundaries.
3. Par7cipa7on
in
ORCID
is
open
to
any
organiza7on
that
has
an
interest
in
scholarly
communica7ons.
4. Access
to
ORCID
services
will
be
based
on
transparent
and
non-‐discriminatory
terms
posted
on
the
ORCID
website.
5. Researchers
will
be
able
to
create,
edit,
and
maintain
an
ORCID
ID
and
profile
free
of
charge.
6. Researchers
will
control
the
defined
privacy
seLngs
of
their
own
ORCID
profile
data.
7. All
profile
data
contributed
to
ORCID
by
researchers
or
claimed
by
them
will
be
available
in
standard
formats

21. Relevance to BRIF
• What can biobanks, databases and data repositories do?
– NOW - obtain ORCiD’s for contributors, data creators, curators and start
associating them with resources
– LATER - update ORCID system with information on contributions
