Persistent digital identifiers to distinguish
researchers from each other
Member-built integrations for automated links
between researchers and their activities/affiliations
A hub for machine-readable connections between
identifiers for organizations, funding, outputs, and
people
ORCID provides
✔ Plumbing for research information
✔ Tools to build trust in digital information

4. 4
Organizations are
use ORCID APIs to
authenticate, collect,
display, and connect
persistent identifiers
for people, places,
and things in
research workflows
ORCID enables assertions

5. Government
ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that
distinguishes researchers from each other and links
them to an organization identifier
ORCID record
Individuals register for free and use
this at their institution, funders and
publishers
Organizations join as members and
can build integrations into their
systems
Universities
Funders
Associations
Publishers

9. Edit My User Profile
Step 1: Idea Generation
9
Idea created in internal
system
• Ideas will evolve into
projects
Collect & Connect
• Permissions received
• ORCID ID now
linked to internal
systems

10. Step 2: Project
10
Funder project
• Assert funding and
add metadata to
ORCID record
• Pre-population of CV
data in funder system
Funding received
• Funder adds award/
grant to ORCID
• Push/Pull to update
profile or RIMS

11. Step 3: Research Output
11
Publisher/Content
Provider captures
ORCID ID through
authentication
• Assert authorship
and add metadata to
ORCID record
Works added to the
individuals ORCID
record
• Push/Pull to update
institutional
repository

12. Step 4:Tracking/Measuring
12
People-Organizations-
Objects are now linked
• Unique trusted
metadata through
system-to-system
assertions
Unique ORCID ID with
asserted works,
education and
employment allow for
improved evaluations
• Cluster ORCID IDs
to evaluate project
impact
