This document summarizes ORCID implementation efforts at Cornell University. It notes that over 53,000 authors have connected their ORCID IDs to their arXiv.org profiles. Cornell uses ORCID for faculty reporting in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Users can connect their institutional login to their ORCID profile through Shibboleth single sign-on. So far 631 users have connected in this way. The library maintains a guide about ORCID benefits and registration.

1. ORCID @ Cornell
An update for the ORCID US Community webinar,
2018-09-12
Simeon Warner, Cornell University Library

2. ORCID @ arXiv.org
Local author ids first introduced pre-ORCID in 2009 (~15k created in the first 6
years, ~2.5k/year), ORCID iD connection introduced in early 2015.
Rapid initial adoption
has continued
● Now ~53k connected
ORCID iDs (~6k/year)
● Universal >> local !

3. arXiv author id page
tied to ORCID
● Replaced local ids
● Shows articles on arXiv
● Links to ORCID record

5. Cornell CALS (College of Agriculture
and Life Sciences) using ORCID as
part of faculty reporting
Using link to local identity (“netid”)
established via institutional
Shibboleth single sign-on (SSO)

6. After normal institutional login
(shown earlier in webinar) ORCID
offers the opportunity to connect
(screencast of full process at

7. Asks only for permission to
get iD. We are not updating
ORCID records

8. Cornell IT page confirms
connection recorded
ORCID iD then available via
LDAP as eduPersonOrcid
attribute

9. 2nd try -- if user doesn’t connect initially
then ORCID leaves message in inbox
to do so later, and notification may be
generated

10. ~5.8k ORCID records with
Cornell email address
631 authenticated single
sign-on associations so far
(mostly CALS and Library)
⇒ Promotion required for
adoption

11. Thanks!
