3. Programme
Commi1ee
We thank our dedicated local Programme Committee for
their leadership in developing the meeting agenda, inviting
speakers, and assistance with logistics:
• Hideaki Takeda, NII and ORCID Board Member
• Soichi Tokizane, Aichi University and ORCID
Ambassador
• Keita Bando, Nagoya Gakuin Daigaku and ORCID
Ambassador
• Nobuko Miyairi, Nature Publishing Group and ORCID
Outreach Steering Group
• Naoko Furubayashi, Thomson Reuters
• Kazuhiro Hayashi, NISTEP

4. Programme
The program highlights how research organizations,
publishers, and professional societies in Asia are adopting
ORCID. Our goal is to enable the community to share
progress, strategies, and plans, and enable an ongoing
conversation.
• Introduce ORCID
Provide update on status and plans, show examples of
use in Asia-Pacific region
• Perspectives from the community
CrossRef, NII, KAMJE
• Interactions with other identifiers
NIMS, JST, KISTI
• Implementation strategies
Hong Kong Baptist University, National Taiwan Normal
University, Japan Geosciences Union

5. 5
Digital scholarly communications requires
information that is machine readable

6. Name ambiguity is a problem
• Different versions (full name vs. initials)
• Shared names
• Transliteration
Close to half of Korean
nationals share the last name
Lee, Park, or Kim.

7. Name ambiguity is a problem
• Accents and other ALT characters
• Name changes
• Multiple family names

• Free, non-proprietary
registry of persistent
unique public identifiers
for researchers
• Community-led non-profit
organization supported by
member fees
• Open data and software

ü Custom claim emails for
creator members: text, language,
color/branding, and “from” email
ü Improvements to
authentication workflow
including persistent write
permission, combined sign-in and
authentication, and OAuth form
pre-fill
ü In-place editing of
biographical information to
improve researcher engagement
ü Continuous integration server
improves speed of releases.

16. 2015 Technical Plans
4 November 2014 orcid.org
16
• Improve the API: make it more modular to better support integrations
and querying
• Improve the notification API: enable saved searches by field type
• Improve website information flow: make it easier to find
information
• Enable API throttling: enabling access by all users
• Support social login and federated login: improve ease of use
• Improve reporting for university members: support community
outreach efforts
• Expand user interface and data model: support links with peer
review, patents, software
• Enable consumption of ORCID data in RDF schema: support
use of data by more communities

17. Connecting an ORCID iD
4 November 2014 orcid.org
The authenticated iD becomes a
part of the paper
The author can pre-populate form
fields: preferred name, affiliation,
funding
Upon publication, the iD is
indexed by CrossRef, Scopus,
Web of Science, and other
services.
Information flows to ORCID and
linked platforms
17
Journals are asking authors for their ORCID iD
at time of manuscript submission.

19. • Over 130,000 articles have been
submitted to CrossRef with an associated
ORCID iD
• These will start to flow into the ORCID
registry before the end of the year
• Researchers who use their ORCID iD
when they publish will not need to
manually update their record

20. Publishers can help
Publishers can make using an identifier easy
for researchers by:
• Collecting identifiers during submission and
review (using authenticated login, not
typing!) AND autofilling forms
• Publishing identifiers in reviews, meetings,
and manuscripts
• Updating author and reviewer ORCID
records

The entire research community
is engaging with ORCID
• Publishers
• Research Funders
• Professional Associations
• Universities and Research Organizations
• Repositories and Research Information Systems
• Research Metrics Providers

page using ORCID iD
• Exchange works metadata between
ORCID and CSCD
• List ORCID iD on iAuthor account
• Formal MOU for cooperation on
researcher outreach

24. National Approach
Some countries are taking a national approach to
ORCID integration, with universities, the national
library, and funders coordinating efforts to develop a
national IR fed by data from ORCID:
• Denmark: launched September 2014
• Portugal: launched November 2013
• Sweden: National recommendation 2013
• UK: Jisc / ARMA Pilot Project

25. Adoption “To-Do” List
① Integrate data fields for
persistent identifiers for
people, places, and things into
your systems
② Collect persistent identifiers
during transactions (using
authenticated login, not
typing!) AND use APIs to help
autofill forms
③ Incorporate identifiers into
published metadata

and phones
• Available in multiple
languages
Register for your

27. Getting started
Use free tools to connect your ORCID identifier to your name
variations, affiliations, and your existing works and funding

28. Link to existing works
28
Connect your ORCID iD to

application
workflow
ORCID record includes,
funder name, grant number,
source, other provenance

30. Link to organization
