What is ORCID?
• 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
orcid.org 7
• 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

ORCID is Open
ORCID enables assertions
orcid.org 9
• 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

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

Remove reporting burdens
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.

Editor's Notes

  • #12 ORCID was formed to address the problem of name ambiguity in scholarly communications.
  • #15 ORCID Members Page: http://orcid.org/about/community/members ORCID Integrations: http://orcid.org/organizations/integrators ORCID Member Support Center: http://members.orcid.org/
  • #20 AGU already rewards its reviewers in various ways, eg, reception at their Fall meeting, thank you notes, letters of support for green card applications, but want to be able to do more to recognize and thank them individually and collectively Because it’s getting harder to find and keep good reviewers, there’s a need to make the process more efficient while maintaining their high standards – doing this will require better data and analysis of those data. A better understanding of member activities is especially important. Collecting reviewers’ ORCID iDs will help. AGU plans to mandate ORCID iDs for authors (and ultimately reviewers) – but as something that their community wants, not just because it’s required. Providing recognition for peer review activities will help get that message across. They also hope it will be the start of a broader conversation about how to improve peer review
  • #22 Encrypted link highlighted by arrow
  • #29 It is the researchers that benefit greatly from ORCID iDs. They can use them throughout their career, and can already use them to distinguish themselves in publications and grants. And many are starting to see the benefits of using ORCID records in outcome tracking. For example, researchers in Portugal who receive federal funding provide their ORCID iD, and benefit from coordinated outcomes reporting by using the ORCID registry as a hub.
  • #33 Another example of the community participating is the realm of person identifiers.
  • #39 It all starts here.
