VIVO and persistent identifiers: Integrating ORCID_08152013Rebecca Bryant, PhD
Title: VIVO and persistent identifiers: Integrating ORCID
Presented at the VIVO 2013 conference in St. Louis, MO, 08/15/13
Presenters:
Rebecca Bryant, PhD, ORCID, Bethesda, MD, USA
Hal Warren, American Psychological Association, Washington DC
Simeon Warner, PhD, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
Abstract:
Since the launch of the ORCID Registry in October 2012, thousands of researchers have claimed their ORCID iD. Organizations have been embedding ORCID identifiers in manuscript submission systems, in funding applications, and adding them to university profile systems. Even before launch, the VIVO ontology had incorporated an ORCID field. In this panel, we will provide an overview of the ORCID registry and adoption, and demonstrate how the American Psychological Association (APA) has integrated ORCID identifiers into its VIVO system and developed an application to populate ORCID records with demographic and publication attributes from APA VIVO RDF files. The ORCID data are packaged as a JSON object stored as a URI in the VIVO record. This serves as a cross-check for ORCID assertions from the publisher of works claimed and allows APA to use VIVO to extend valid provenance assertions for publications in a Linked Open Data Trust Framework. We will discuss the application of this use case for other VIVO implementations and other researcher profiling systems, focusing on integrations at universities.

Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years.

Avoiding academic fraud
Case study 1: Teni and Alemu
Teni is a young mother that needs to finish her degree in two years because she is
self-funded and only has enough funds for that period. Also, Teni needs to submit her
dissertation in French and she is not fluent in written French. In the same institution,
Alemu has a scholarship for exactly three years and a study leave from work for the
period. However, he has a health challenge that set him back some months.
• Stress points: tight deadlines, financial limitations, personal obligations (childcare,
healthcare), language difficulty, risk to career advancement with delay.
• FRAUD temptations: falsifying data, hiring ghost writers, improper referencing in
hurried writing, out-sourcing work and presenting them as independent work.
How do they set themselves up for success?
• Proper time management, communication with academic supervisors and
technicians, keeping proper experimental records, writing as they progress, writing
and seeking editing assistance (not ghost writing) for thesis to be written in French
by Teni.
• Explain their challenges to their advisors and seek advice

Avoiding academic fraud
Case study 2: Sylvere
Sylvère’s student has submitted a manuscript for publication of work they conducted.
As he reads it, he suspects that the entire work was not original. As a post doc he is
eager to advance his career through publications, so instead of checking for
plagiarism, he makes minor corrections and submits the manuscript for publication.
Furthermore, his supervisor has not contributed to the work but demanded to be
included as a co-author: Sylvère obliged.
How has he demonstrated unethical behaviour?
• Lack of responsibility
• Plagiarism
• Dishonesty
What actions could Sylvère have taken? He should have
• taken responsibility and checked manuscript for plagiarism using similarity checkers
• pointed out plagiarism to the student
• not have submitted a plagiarised manuscript
• explained to his supervisor why including a non-participant as a co-author is
unethical and refrained from doing so.

Purpose of Referencing
The purpose of referencing is not to
• give you a higher mark
• to make your work look more academic
• show that you have read many information sources
• fill your manuscript, thesis with many more words
Proper referencing demonstrates your
understanding of the subject, supports
your arguments and strengthens your
ideas

Attributions
Sometimes you would like to include the work of others such as
figures or photos, etc.
• You should seek permission from the copyright owner. A simple
professional email will suffice.
• Some journals indicate that images can be used for non-

25. IITA is a member of the CGIAR System Organization.
www.iita.org | www.cgiar.org
Organising references
• Keep track of references in an organized format
• Indicated quoted text in quotation marks
• Reference only information that you have read.
• If original reference is not accessible, then cite original
from accessible reference (e.g. John Doe, 1923, as cited
in Remember et al., 2020). However, do not be lazy and
seek out original documents if possible.
• Synthesize information and build on the work of others.
Do not just paraphrase and rewrite the documents of
others
26. IITA is a member of the CGIAR System Organization.
www.iita.org | www.cgiar.org
Keep track of your references
• Use a referencing software (e.g. Endnote, Mendeley) or
manually enter your citations and list your references –
referencing software are better recommended
• Write key points that are relevant in your own words and
write the reference using the appropriate referencing
style
• Desist from a habit of copying and pasting
• Use similarity checker to confirm that you have not
plagiarised

Introduction – impact of aflatoxins
Intransigent nature of stunting
There is an association between growth retardation and aflatoxin exposure and
this is linked to environmental enteropathy (atrophy of villi, nutrient
malabsorption, increased permeability of small intestine and inflammatory cell
infiltrate.
Gong and colleagues found a dose-response relationship between serum AF-alb
adducts (and indication of chronic exposure to aflatoxins) and height-for-age
and weight-for-age Z scores. However others suggest that there are
confounding factors of poor diet in the study groups and that there could be
other factors responsible for stunting rather than aflatoxin exposure alone.
Yet in a Gambian study, an inverse relationship between LAZ, WAZ and WLZ
were and chronic exposure to aflatoxins as measured via the AF-alb
concentrations was observed after adjusting for the confounding factors of SES,
season of sampling, age of weaning commencement, supplementation group,
infant diarrhoea and morbidity in the first two years.

2003; Egal

Introduction – impact of aflatoxins
Small intestines had lighter weight, reduced depth of crypt and lowered
capacity to absorb nutrients when exposed to aflatoxins resulting in macro and
micronutrient deficiency (incl. zinc deficiency). Without the optimal absorption
of nutrients, growth is negatively affected.
(Applegate
et al., 2009)
Costs associated with rejected produce is substantial. It is estimated that about
$10,000 per ton is lot in demurrage and this can results in about $670 million
per year in aflatoxin-associated losses.
“The cost of a rejected food shipment is substantial (about $10,000 per lot in
demurrage fees, [8]), even if the lot can be returned to the country attempting
to export.”

Guclu,
2012)
