WHAT IS ORCID?
• An identifier for researchers
• A registry
• A set of standard procedures for connecting
researchers to their affiliations and activities
• A committed community building connectors
• An international-scale open research effort
ORCID’s vision is a world where
all who participate in research, scholarship,
and innovation are uniquely identified
and connected to their contributions and
affiliations across time, disciplines, and
borders.
THE ORCID COMMUNITY
• Over 3.1 million researchers
• 620+ members from 40 countries, including
national consortia in Australia, Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, New
Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Taiwan,
the UK, and 3 regional consortia in the US
• Over 250 integrations in each sector of the
research community

ORCID iDs:
Science
EMBO
PLOS

Hindawi
IEEE
AGU
Rockefeller
Univ.Press
Over 3000 journals are collecting ORCID iDs from authors,
including requirements by American Chemical Society,
American Geophysical Union, eLIFE, EMBO, IEEE, PLOS,
Royal Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, Science, and
Wiley.
“Over 10,000 authors
have used our
manuscript submission
system since we
launched the
requirement in January.
We have received only
one complaint.” --

too

• Automatic update of ORCID and any
connected system (such as a funder
reporting site) means less time doing
reporting tasks and more time for research
• Accurate attribution means improved
discoverability in publication databases and
more reliable citation statistics
WHY DO FUNDERS CARE?
• Streamline application process by pulling
information from ORCID
• Ensure accurate citation of award (both
grant numbers and organization name) by
pushing award information into ORCID
record
• Enable real-time reporting by using ORCID
notification API
• Recognize your reviewers, too!

The ability to uniquely identify
contributors is a deceptively simple
concept which, if realised, could
enable forms of real-time
understanding of scientific research
that up to now have been extremely
costly (if not impossible).
--Jonathan Kram, Wellcome Trust
PARTICIPATING FUNDERS
National funding agencies are using ORCID in their grants
management systems including the National Research
Foundation (ZA), Science Foundation Ireland, National
Institutes of Health (US), National Science Foundation
(US), Research Councils UK, and the Australian Research
Council.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
• Individual non-profit organizations
• Basic: $4000 (read-write-update)
• Small Premium: $8000 (notifications and more
API credentials)
• Consortia (groups of 5 or more):
Pricing depends on size of consortia. For a
group of 40+, the total cost would be
$135,000. Split evenly, this is less than
$4000 per organization for premium
membership.
GETTING STARTED
• Talk to your colleagues about their experiences.
• Ask your grant management system vendor if they support ORCID.
• Set up a webinar with our support team.
• Determine when/where to collect ORCID iDs – during application for
PIs, at award for all supported, at completion of review for reviewers.
Consider pulling information from ORCID to populate components of
the form.
• Make sure to request permissions to write award information into
awardee records.
• Store iD in your system, publish with award, and update awardee
records.
• Use the notification API to receive push updates when your awardees
publish papers or datasets.
Integration Process
Technically, integrating ORCID involves
adding <person ID> and <source> fields to
data models, mapping to the ORCID API, and
implementing OAuth and RESTful calls.
Socially, it is critical that researchers are
engaged in the process.
http://members.orcid.org
With hundreds of our members globally building ORCID
identifiers into their systems, as well as some funders
and publishers now requiring ORCID iDs, researchers
are increasingly likely to encounter ORCID in their day-
to-day life. We developed the Collect and Connect
program to streamline the integration process and
foster a shared user experience. This ensures
researchers and our members understand what ORCID
is and why and how to engage.

FUNDERS DRIVE GOOD
PRACTICE
• LEAD BY EXAMPLE
• SHARE DATA FOR RE-USE
• RE-USE DATA WHEREVER POSSIBLE
• TELL THE COMMUNITY WHAT YOU NEED
- AND LISTEN TO THEIR NEEDS
