From the ORCID Outreach Meeting, May 21-22, 2014, Chicago Illinois. https://orcid.org/content/orcid-outreach-meeting-and-codefest-may-2014 ORCID integration into researcher information systems The ORCID identifier has been integrated into numerous researcher information system platforms available to the research community, providing the opportunity for improved data through disambiguation and reducing the time-consuming process of maintaining up-to-date records for both individuals and organizations. This session will feature a discussion of integration points, policy issues, data flow between systems, researcher participation, discovered opportunities, improved metrics and reporting, and demonstrations by universities and vendors. Moderator: David Baker, Executive Director, CASRAI Presenters: Urban Andersson, IT Librarian, Chalmers University of Technology Michael Habib, Senior Product Manager-Scopus, Elsevier Julia Hawks, VP, North America, Symplectic Andrew Johnson, Assistant Professor and Research Data Librarian, University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder) Patricia Brennan, Thomson Reuters Christopher Shanahan, Assistant Professor and Faculty Lead, BU Profiles, Boston University School of Medicine Simeon Warner, Research Associate, Cornell University

Questions Received
 “What do I do if I
already have an
ORCID iD?”
 “How does ORCID
guarantee my
privacy?”

which version of my
name is associated
with my ORCID iD?”
Preregistration
Results

faculty
 116 indicated they
had an existing
ORCID iD
 1 opted out of ORCID
iD registration

7. Opportunities Discovered During Implementation
 Originally concerned with name disambiguation
 Potential to use ORCID as a source of:
 Other researcher identifiers that could be used to
collect publication data
 Data about scholarly works other than publications
 Information about graduate student employment
and success
 Broadened campus conversations about impact of
research and creative work (particularly for Arts and
Humanities faculty)
