G. A. Thorisson, University of Leicester / ORCID http://www.orcid.org Lack of incentives for sharing • Effort required to prepare, package and submit datasets to public repositories • Time better spent writing papers & grants • All sticks (funders, journals) - no carrots • Need incentives - treat data as publications and credit creators “[...] Many of the issues regarding data availability can be addressed if the principles of “publication” rather than “sharing” are applied. However, online data publication systems also need to develop mechanisms for data citation and indices of data access comparable to those for citation systems in print journals” Costello, M.

G. A. Thorisson, University of Leicester / ORCID http://www.orcid.org Scope (initial beta system) ORCID will build a central registry of unique identiﬁers for researchers and scholars with the following scope: • ORCID will focus on currently active researchers • Data will come from individuals and organizations • ORCID will be a hybrid system of self- and organization-asserted identity • Data collected will be those needed for disambiguation - extra data for optionally creating full CV-like proﬁles might be added in the future • The system will provide basic matching and disambiguation of names • The ORCID system will, from the start, enable 3rd parties to build value added services using ORCID infrastructure • ORCID services will be developed based on the needs of the ORCID community Beyond Impact workshop, Wellcome Trust, London 9-11 May 2011 28Wednesday, 11 May 2011
