The document outlines the importance of ORCID identifiers for ICPSR, a social science data repository, established in 1962 with over 740 institutional members. It discusses ORCID's role in identity management, data linking, and enhancing researchers' visibility in their contributions to science. Future considerations include user needs, integration with existing systems, and linking data to publications to improve access and credit for researchers.

2. What is ICPSR?
• Repository of social science data established in
1962 for data sharing and preservation
• Membership-based organization -- over 740
institutional members (colleges and
universities) from around the world
• Source for training in statistics and data
curation through the Summer Program

11. Identity Management

13. Link Data to Publications

15. “Since data are still considered an alternative
metric of a researcher's impact, the more data
repositories and altmetric organizations can take
advantage of ORCIDs, the more a researcher's
impact becomes apparent (not to mention the
value of shared research data).”
-Elizabeth Moss (ICPSR)

16. "It [an ORCID] would be attached to researchers' journal
publications, and could also be assigned to data sets they
helped to generate, comments on their colleagues' blog
posts or unpublished draft papers, edits of Wikipedia
entries and much else besides. This kind of
'microattribution' could ultimately make it possible for
each researcher to have a constantly updated 'digital
curriculum vitae' providing a picture of his or her
contributions to science going far beyond the simple
publication list."

17. Implementing ORCID @ ICPSR

23. Policy Issues

24. • Whether to use?
– Wait or lead?
– Integration with Michigan ecosystem?
• How to implement?
– Retrofit, integrate, or build into new system?
• Using ORCID to link data with publications.

25. Future Dreams

26. • What do our users want?
• What is most beneficial to the community?

27. • Make the primary email address in ORCID
viewable to trusted third parties by default.
• Allow depositor to link previous deposits to
ORCID ID upon submission.
• Once ORCID IDs for all University of Michigan
faculty and staff, consider retrofit to add those
ORCID IDs to our collection.
• Authority control for authors -- clean up
underlying database so authors can be
disambiguated.
• Linking data with publications.
