12. Use is International
• Usage is international; 54
countries with over 10,000
users; 100 with at least
1000 users. The GCC
countries represent about
1% of total usage.
• ORCID Website is
available in several

13. Connecting an ORCID iD
Journals are asking authors for their ORCID
iD at time of manuscript submission.
The authenticated iD becomes
a part of the paper
The author can pre-populate
form fields: preferred name,
affiliation, funding
Upon publication, the iD is
indexed by CrossRef, Scopus,
Web of Science, and other
services.
Information flows to ORCID
and linked platforms
5 November 2014 orcid.org 13
16. • Over 130,000 articles have been
submitted to CrossRef with an
associated ORCID iD
• These will start to flow into the ORCID
registry before the end of the year
• Researchers who use their ORCID
iD when they publish will not need
to manually update their record
5 November 2014 orcid.org 16
17. Publishers can help
Publishers can make using an identifier
easy for researchers by:
• Collecting identifiers during submission
and review (using authenticated login,
not typing!) AND autofilling forms
• Publishing identifiers in reviews,
meetings, and manuscripts
• Updating author and reviewer ORCID
records
5 November 2014 orcid.org 17
18. Beyond Publishing
We all have questions:
How can researchers be reliably connected to their
contributions?
Can we expand our view of what is considered a
contribution?
How do we track research activities across a
career? Databases? Organizations?
How can we measure the impact of a training
program? Funding program? Department?
Project?

22. Repositories: DSpace
22
ORCID support is scheduled to
become part of the DSpace 5
core, to be released this fall.
DSpace will also release patches
for DSpace 3 and DSpace 4.
Supported ORCID functionality:
• ORCID lookup during manual
submission of new publications
• ORCID lookup for edit
operations on already
accepted/published items in
DSpace
• Batch adding of ORCID
metadata using the DSpace
metadata CSV upload facilities.
23. National Approach
Some countries are taking a national approach
to ORCID integration, with universities, the
national library, and funders coordinating efforts
to develop a national CRIS/IR fed by data from
ORCID:
• Denmark: launched September 2014
http://orcid.org/blog/2014/09/03/denmark-adopts-orcid-consortium-approach-orcid-implementation
• Portugal: launched November 2013

Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak today, at the Qscience Open Access Day. I always prefer a conversation over a presentation, so please do feel free to ask questions during and after this talk.
I would like to share with you how ORCID is working to enable connections between researchers and research, scholars and scholarship, by participating in and helping to create a research data infrastructure.
As with the steel beams in a building, or the plumbing in a house, this infrastructure is largely unseen but critical for day-to-day scholarly communication. This infrastructure is based on persistent identifiers, machine-readable bits of information for names, papers, datasets, funding, organizations—the people, places, and things of the research ecosystem-- that a search engine can parse and connect.
Ultimately, this persistent identifier infrastructure can save us all time in data entry and data cleaning, and improve discoverability—the ease by which one can find the collection of a scholar’s works on the Internet, from any search interface and in any repository.
And isn’t that—discoverabilty—the essence of open access?
So, let’s take something many of us are familiar with: publishing a research paper.
.But, still, in many cases, in scholarly communications names are are expressed as text strings. When you search for a name using a search engine, almost anything can happen, and probably not what you want.
ORCID was formed to address the problem of name ambiguity in scholarly communications.
Why should researchers and organizations like yourselves take the time not only to get an ID, but to use it? It is a matter of interoperability.
Gteting identifiers inserted at the point of making a research activity public.
Notes for presenter [go through slide]:
Register for an ORCID iD
International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI): ISNI has reserved a block of numbers for use by ORCID, to avoid assignment overlaps.
All you need to set up your ORCID iD is your name and an email address.
