ORCID: Connecting Research and ResearchersORCID, Inc
Webinar presentation by Laurel Haak to Stellenbosch University on ORCID, its current adoption by researchers and integrations by research community members.
Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) are an increasingly important tool and technology that enable new services for research. They are attached to outputs, grant funding, people and more. They provide a way to connect data, improve accuracy, and help the flow of information. Researchers can benefit from time savings, and more accurate attribution (think better citation data…) and institutions can gain efficiency savings and a better understanding of their research portfolio.
This webinar will provide an overview of the current PID landscape and will offer guidance on how PIDs for people (ORCID iDs) can be integrated in your systems, helping your researchers to take advantage of new and emerging services.

Jisc Analytics Labs is an approach to the development of decision-making tools underpinned by data. This presentation will briefly outline this approach and then focus on the results of the reproducibility lab which used data from articles on animal-based research to assess the degree to which factors affecting research reproducibility are reported
The aim of this project was to develop and evaluate a prediction market tool that higher education institutions can use to rank outputs for potential REF submissions as part of their internal REF (Research Excellence Framework) planning. A prediction market is a bit like the stock market, except instead of investing in companies, participants invest in the outcomes of future events (in this case, ratings of research outputs). This presentation will give some background to the project and details of the prediction markets that have been tested with Units of Assessment at the University of Bristol. It will include a demo of the tool used and the lessons learned from the first round of markets.
Primary data collected during a research study is increasingly shared and may be re-used for new research. The aim of this project was to assess the extent of data sharing of summary statistics of primary human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) as an example of data sharing in favourable circumstances in a particular discipline and whether such checks can be automated. This presentation will summarise the findings of the project and demonstrate a tool to extract information from data availability statements

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

The DEFF-funded ORCID implementation project has the goal 80 % participation by researchers, through registration or capture into the local Pure CRIS system. To ignite the participating institutions to reach this goal, project funds are subject to registration thresholds of 40 %, 60 % and 80 % of the total number of FTE researchers.
the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), the national funder in Portugal, adopted ORCID. It all started with the process for international evaluation of Portuguese R&D units (similar to REF in the UK), a component of which was a bibliometric analysis. This process involved a nationwide call for all FCT-funded investigators to register with ORCID and use the Scopus-to-ORCID import wizard to populate their ORCID record with publications. In three weeks, the call led to 40,000 registrations among Portuguese researchers, 15,000 of whom were FCT investigators. Over 75,000 publications were linked to these records
In our second year, we have added functionality to enable connections between researchers and their degree-granting and employment institutions, connections with their funding awards, connections with ISNI, improvements to the user interface, single sign-on, and a public API that supports authentication so that the community can integrate ORCID iDs responsibly, regardless of their ability to pay a membership fee.
we are investigating what would be involved to enable logins using other systems, both social and federated
Add member messaging – improved monthly bulletins on new developments, changes and better all round communication of the steps involved in integration
When DOI metadata is available and contains ORCIDs this would be a great opportunity for funders who collect ORCIDs alongside grant information to harvest publications data as it becomes available, which could be a real boost for mandate compliance checks, for example.
