Growth of ORCID records with.ac.uk email address over time
# of records with a .ac.uk email address
• 154,154ORCID records that contain a UK affiliation
• 166,435 records with ac.uk email address on an ORCID Record
5. The bread and butter:
› Responding to technical and non technical support requests
› Gathering technical interoperability requirements across UK universities and
share with members
› Designing, organising and facilitating UKORCID user community events,
hackdays, webinars etc – act as a forum for networking, sharing of
experiences and collaboration
› Developing resources
5
6. 17/18 activity/focus
Responding to requirements:
› Development of EPrints plug-in and supporting release
› DSpace – responding to requests for IRUS harvesting
› Working with institutions and vendors (Worktribe, Haplo)
› Support move to API 2.0
› Webinars
› Hackdays
6
7. Priorities for 18/19
› Continue to progress technical infrastructure
– Support for member integrations – working with vendors, repository
systems
– Support institutions with Collect and Connect
– Monitor upgrade to API 3.0 when released
› Foster communities of practice ethos
› Monitor needs across the consortium
› Events: hackdays, webinars, members day
› Continue to develop UK ORCID consortium resources
› Support Self Service

8. Renewal of consortium membership
»Change in membership fees from Jan 2019 (email went
out to institutions on 19th June)
»Sustainability planning
› Technical support and community engagement staff/activity has
been subsidised by Jisc project funds since August 2015
› Needed to ensure ORCID consortium was a viable concern
beyond 2019
› Ensure that it is still cheaper to go through Jisc consortium

9. ORCID pricing 2019 - 2021
9
* Prices exclude and are subject toVAT. A
transaction management charge, currently
either £100 or £50 for invoices over and under
£1000 respectively is also applicable.
* For premium membership. As at June
2018, ORCID’s USD$200M pricing threshold
broadly falls between Jisc Collection’s Band
5B and Band 6. Due to changes in the
income of institutions, exchange rate
movements and periodic re-evaluation of
the Bands the savings expressed above
should be treated as indicative and subject
to change.

» UK ORCID email list: orcid-uk@jiscmail.ac.uk
» Jisc ORCID helpdesk: help@jisc.ac.uk

11. RIOXX
» Supports easier compliance and reporting to funders
» Ability to track and share data between systems
» Ability to de-duplicate
» Supports robust aggregations and interrogation of research outputs
» Better business intelligence (benchmarking, robust statistics)
» Transparency
» Robust service functionality/trust in services
Standards facilitates interoperability
12. RIOXX
»Requirement from UK funders for compliance to OA
policies (RCUK and REF)
»No consistent use of key and common metadata
fields across scholarly systems
»No consistent use of vocabularies
»Metadata required by funders not being collected
Why we developed RIOXX:
13. RIOXX
(Research Papers)
»Worked with RCUK and HEFCE
»Developed by PaulWalk and Sheridan Brown (Key
Perspectives)
RIOXX metadata application profile and guidelines
14. RIOXX
› Lists key and common metadata elements that institutions need
to collect to support compliance to RCUK OA policy and most of
REF requirements.
› http://www.rioxx.net/profiles/v2-0-final/
15. RIOXX implementation
»Have developed applications for EPrints and DSpace
to support RIOXX implementation.
»https://www.jisc.ac.uk/repository-technical-support
16. RIOXX and OpenAIRE
» OpenAIRE Guidelines did not adequately fulfil UK
metadata requirements
»We are working with OpenAIRE to facilitate convergence
where possible.
»We are considering how to deal with divergence.
»There is mapping between RIOXX and OpenAIRE
»This will have to be reworked in light of new OpenAIRE
Guidelines version 4.
Mapping to OpenAIRE Guidelines
18. CORE
http://core.ac.uk
Delivered in partnership with the Open University and Jisc
Aggregate all open access content
ditsributed across different repository
systems worldwide, enrich this
content and provide access to it
through a set of services
19. CORE
World’s largest open access articles collection
49TB of data
3,648Data providers
~ 50k Journals
> 131,302,881 Metadata
> 93,348,838 Abstracts
> 11,250,039 Hosted full texts

21. CORE
CORE Analytics Dashboard (alpha) • Will help analyse the
impact of research
at your institution.
• See how you
perform against
competitors.
• Slice and dice by
discipline, field, any
kind of a query
22. CORE
• Main source of data for Naver Academic
• IRIS.AI: A start up of 20 people entirely developing tools
to help researchers be more productive. Highly
dependent on CORE API.
• ProQuest: CORE supplies data about OA publications to
improve discovery of OA content in Primo and Summon
(new) additional discovery collaborations on the way.
• Providing a key API for OA Button
Key customers/partners
23. • Harvesting and delivering data from UK repositories supporting RIOXX to
OpenAIRE (every 2 weeks) on behalf of Jisc.
• OpenAIRE to use CORE Publisher Connector
• Delivering repository statistics data (including historical information) to
OpenDOAR
• IRUS-UK: IRUS has created in collaboration withCORE the IRUS-CORE service
which integrates the capturing of download data from repositories with CORE.
• OpenMinTeD: EU eInfrastructure project forTDM of research data. CORE the
largest supplier of data.
• EOSC/ResourceSync - Driving innovation in this area
Integration with other OA services/initiatives
Editor's Notes
Strong growth across the lifetime of the consortium
How we say someone is associated with the United Kingdom academic community is not a simple matter:
UK Affiliation - this is a property asserted in one of two ways.
by a call via the API – made by an ORCID member (e.g. when signing up through an institutional gateway)
by a user directly within their ORCID record .ac.uk email address – registered or added by a user.
To make matters more complex there’s over 50k ORCID records with a country property currently set to “UK” – this is a property set by the person and may not even reflect their current address (though we would hope it does!)
Note that some or indeed all of this information might be historical (i.e. might include information about a career track, rather than where or what a person is currently doing)
See upcoming blog post!
Standards development is an important area for Jisc…. Recognise that is provides a number of benefits…
This will probably need updating after the OpenAIRE next version guidelines are released.
