3. LOGO Open Researcher and Contributor ID
• ORCID provides unique persistent identifiers for the benefit of
both individual researchers and their institutions.
• launched its global, free-to-use registry to provide researchers
with unique persistent identifiers (ORCID IDs).
• ORCID has the potential to make a huge difference to a
researcher’s ability to gain full credit for their work and
• ORCID is a useful tool for universities as they track, evaluate
and report research work.

4. LOGO Open Researcher and Contributor ID
• ORCID is a nonprofit helping create a world in which all who
participate in research, scholarship and innovation are
uniquely identified and connected to their contributions and
affiliations, across disciplines, borders, and time.
• ORCID serves a broad stakeholder community that includes
individuals, research and scholarly organizations, data
repositories and libraries, publishers, patent offices, service
providers, and more…

5. LOGO What is ORCID?
• An open, non-profit, community-based effort to create and
maintain a registry of unique research identifiers and a
transparent method of linking research activities and outputs
to these identifiers
• ORCID provides a standard unique author identifier that
distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through
integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and
grant submission, supports automated linkages between you
and your professional activities ensuring that your work is
recognized.

6. LOGO What is ORCID?
• ORCID Registry aims to prevent authorship confusion
• Some publishers will require an ORCID ID in the ScienCV
platform, for linking researchers, their grants and their
scientific output
• To create your own ORCID ID, simply go to the ORCID
website--http://orcid.org/-- and register

8. LOGO Why ORCID Important?
• By a unique identifier, as provided by ORCID, which
researchers can associate with their name variations and their
research works,
• It is a way to ensure that these links can be made accurately
and reliably. This will help Nabeel S. to get credit for his
publications by uniquely identifying his as the author of his
work across all systems integrated with the ORCID registry.

9. LOGO Why ORCID Important?
• ORCID has over Two Million members from the research and
scholarly community including major funders, universities and
publishers. Many of them have started to embed ORCID ID's
in research workflows such as manuscript submission or grant
application processes so that it becomes part of the metadata
associated with research outputs. Nature is just one example.
When funder or publisher systems are integrated with the
ORCID registry, public information linked to an ORCID ID
could eventually pre-populate grant or manuscript submission
forms reducing the administrative burden for researchers.

15. LOGO ORCID Protects Your Unique Scholarly Identity
• ORCID solves the author name problem by giving
individuals a unique, 16-digit numeric identification
number that lasts over time.
• The numbers are stored in a central registry, which will
power a research infrastructure that ensures that people
find the correct “J Wang” and get credit for all their
publications.
www.uokufa.edu.iq

16. LOGO Creating an ORCID Identifier Takes 30 Seconds
• Setting up an ORCID record is easier than setting up a
Facebook account, and literally only takes 30 seconds.
Plus, if you’ve published before, you likely already have
a Researcher-ID or Scopus Author ID, or you may have
publications indexed in Cross-Ref which means that you
can easily import information from those systems into
your ORCID record, letting those websites do the grunt
work for you.
www.uokufa.edu.iq

17. LOGO ORCID is Getting Big Fast
• Even if you haven’t yet encountered ORCID, you likely
will soon. The number of ORCID users grew ten-fold
over 2013, and continues to grow daily. You’ll likely
encounter ORCID identifiers more and more often on
journal websites and funding applications–a great reason
to better understand ORCID’s purpose and uses.

19. LOGO ORCID Lasts Longer Than Your Email Address
• Anyone who has ever moved institutions knows the pain
of losing touch with colleagues once access to your old
university email disappears. ORCID eases that pain
by storing your most recent email address. If you choose
to share it, your email address can be shared across
platforms–meaning you spend less time updating your
many profiles.
www.uokufa.edu.iq

20. LOGO ORCID Supports 37 Types of “Works,” From
Articles To Dance Performances
• Any type of scholarly output you create, ORCID can handle.
Are you a traditional scientists, who writes only papers and
the occasional book chapter? ORCID can track them. Are
you instead a cutting-edge computational biologist who
releases datasets and figures for your thesis, as they are
created? ORCID can track that, too. Not a scientist at all,
but an art professor? You can import your works using
ORCID, as well, ORCID will even start importing
information about your service to your discipline soon!
www.uokufa.edu.iq

21. LOGO You Control Who Views Your ORCID Information
• Concerned about the privacy implications of ORCID? You’re
in luck–ORCID has granular privacy controls. When setting
up your ORCID record, you can select the default privacy
settings for all of your content–Open to everyone, Open
to trusted parties (web services that you’ve linked to your
ORCID record), or Open only to yourself. Once your profile
is populated, you can set custom privacy levels for each
item, easy as pie.
www.uokufa.edu.iq

22. LOGO ORCID is Glue for All Your Research Services
• You can connect your ORCID account with websites
including Web of Science, Fig share, and Impact story,
among many others. Once they’re connected, you can
easily push information back and forth between services
meaning that a complete ORCID record will allow you to
automatically import the same information to multiple
places, rather than having to enter the same information
over and over again on different websites. And
new services are connecting to ORCID every day, sharing
information across an increasing number of platforms–
repositories, funding agencies, and more!

23. LOGO Journals, Funders & Institutions Are Moving to
ORCID
• Some of the world’s largest publishers, funders, and
institutions have adopted ORCID. Over 1000 journals,
including publications by PLOS, Nature, and Elsevier, are
using ORCID as a way to make it easier for authors to
manage their information in manuscript submission
systems.
• ORCID can also collect your publications from across these
varied services, making it possible to aggregate author-
level metrics. Funding agencies are integrating their
systems with ORCID for similar reasons
www.uokufa.edu.iq

24. LOGO Journals, Funders & Institutions Are Moving to
ORCID
• Funders from the Welcome Trust to the NIH now request
that grantees use ORCIDs to manage information in their
systems, and many other funding agencies across the
world are following suit.
• In 2013, universities accounted for the largest percentage
of all new ORCID members. ORCID helps institutions track
your work, compile information for university-level
reporting (i.e., total funding received by its scholars), and
more efficiently manage information on faculty profiles.
www.uokufa.edu.iq

25. LOGO Journals, Funders & Institutions Are Moving to
ORCID
• By eliminating redundancies and automating some
reporting functions, ORCID will be especially helpful in
reducing time and monies spent on REF and other
assessment activities.

26. LOGO When Everyone Has An ORCID Identifier,
Scholarship Gets Better
• How many hours have you wasted by filling in your
address, employment history, collaborator names and
affiliations, etc. when applying for grants or submitting
manuscripts? For many publishers and funders, you can
now simply supply your ORCID identifier, saving you
precious time to do research. In addition to increasing
efficiency, ORCID can also help connect funding dollars
with tangible outputs, track citations beyond journal articles,
and help keep author contact information up-to-date.
www.uokufa.edu.iq

27. LOGO ORCID Is Open Source, Open Data, And
Community-driven
• ORCID is a community-driven organization. You can help
shape its development by adding and voting for ideas on
ORCID’s feedback forum. It’s also open by design. ORCID
is an open source web-app that allows other web-apps to
use its open API and mine its open data. (We actually use
ORCID’s open API to easily import information into your
Impact story profile).
www.uokufa.edu.iq

28. LOGO ORCID Is Open Source, Open Data, and
Community-driven
• Openness like ORCID’s supports innovation and
transparency, and can keep us from focusing myopically on
limited publication types or single indicators of impact. And
there we have it–ten things you now know about ORCID.
