What is ORCID?

6. • Researchers can register and use
ORCID for free of charge whether or not
their employer is a member
• ORCID is an opt-in system. The
researcher controls their record:
registration, linked information, privacy
and access settings
• An ORCID iD and associated information
stays with an individual throughout their
career irrespective of affiliation
6
ORCID is Opt-in

7. orcid.org 7

8. • Free, non-proprietary, platform-neutral
registry of persistent unique public
identifiers for researchers
• Community-based, independent non-
profit organization supported by member
fees
• Open data, software, APIs, and
documentation

13. Building trust
orcid.org 13
• Tools to allow for easy addition of identifiers
(for people, places, and things) during
publishing, grant application, thesis deposit,
etc.
• Engage the community to embed,
authenticate, and assert

14. ORCID @ publishers
• Improved author database information
• Deduplication of records
• Unambiguous links to other databases
• Accurate attribution of publications and more
• Peer review
• Simplifies submission process
• CrossRef and DataCite auto-update
• Single sign-on for m/s submission systems
orcid.org 14

15. ORCID @ scholarly societies
• Improved member information
• Deduplication of records
• Unambiguous links across all society
databases
• Better understanding of member
activities
• And many of the same benefits as
publishers

The Peer Review Scam
Ferguson, C., Marcus, A. & Oransky, I. Publishing: the peer-review
scam. Nature 515, 480 (2014).

19. In 2012, the Elsevier journal Optics & Laser Technology
retracted 11? papers after an unknown party gained
access to an editor's account and assigned papers to fake
reviewer accounts.
… to verify reviewers' identities, the system now integrates
the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) at
various points. ORCID identifiers, unique numbers
assigned to individual researchers, are designed to track
researchers through all of their publications, even if they
move institutions.

Adoption in the UK
Jisc are establishing a
national ORCID
consortium in the UK.
50 Universities and 7 funders are
joining now, and 29 others have
expressed an interest in joining later.

24. Adoption in Australia
orcid.org 24
Released a “Joint Statement of Principle”
endorsing national adoption of ORCID,
supported by universities, research
administrators, libraries and research data
managers
The report cites reduced red tape, improved
data quality and increased global visibility
as reasons to adopt ORCID
http://www.ands.org.au/discovery/orcid-discussion-paper20150306.pdf

25. Adoption in Italy
orcid.org
ANVUR and CRUI have decided to launch
the Italian Researcher Identifier for
Evaluation (IRIDE) project:
By the end of 2016 at least 80% of
Italian researchers (including PhD
students and post-docs) will possess
an ORCID iD linked to their
publications back to 2006

26. Regional & national approach
• Austria: Funder requirement 2016
• Italy: National consortium 2015
• Finland: National recommendation 2015
• Australia: National recommendation 2015
• Denmark: University launch 2014
• Spain: Launched 2 consortia in 2014
• Portugal: Funder requirement 2013
• Sweden: National recommendation 2013
• UK: National recommendation 2013, pilot 2014,
consortium 2015

ORCID @ Institutional Reporting
We want to use ORCIDs to simplify the life
of Oxford’s researchers for working with
institutional systems and publishers’
systems by re-using already available
information for publication data
management and reporting.
The motto is: Input once – re-use often.
“ ”
Wolfram Horstmann, Associate Director,
Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford

28. Role of Universities
• Assert affiliation using ORCID and
organization IDs
• Use iDs in thesis and dissertation
workflows
• Use iDs during on/off boarding of staff
• Connect iDs to research info
management systems
• Receive updates from ORCID
• Most important: engage researchers
to register and use iD

ORCID@HKUST
It is to HKUST’s benefit if each of our researchers has an ORCID iD.
The accuracy of the bibliometrics and research output counts will be
greatly improved if our researchers’ identity can be distinctively
connected to their scholarly publications and datasets. HKUST’s
academic ranking will become more accurately reflected when these
improved figures are adopted by the ranking agencies. It is also
beneficial to urge our postgraduate students to create ORCID iD for
themselves, as the distinctive iDs will enable them to keep track of
their research activities and outcomes throughout their research
career path... The HKUST Scholarly Publications Database (SPD)
also connects ORCID iD in its scholar profiles.

platforms
• ORCID enables author name
disambiguation upstream in the
publishing process with researchers’ opt-
in, allowing the downstream tools and
resources to re-use this information with
