Spreading the ORCID word
ORCID Communications webinar, June 13, 2016
2. 14 June 2016 orcid.org 2
ORCID’s vision is a world where
all who participate in research,
scholarship, and innovation are
uniquely identified and connected
to their contributions and
affiliations across time,
disciplines, and borders.
3. ORCID is an open, not-for-profit organization run by
and for the research community
We provide researchers with a unique identifier, an
ORCID iD, that reliably and clearly connects them with
their research contributions and affiliations
What is ORCID?
5. Organization/member benefit
1. Reduce/eliminate need for researcher disambiguation within and
between systems
2. Enable automatic system-to-system updates for researcher
reporting
3. Validate your researchers’ affiliation, awards, or works – building
trust in the overall research infrastructure
4. Improve speed and accuracy of research reporting
5. Maintain connections with researchers despite name/affiliation
changes
6. Ensures your researchers comply with funders and publishers
requiring ORCID
7. Learn from other organizations’ experiences and share your own
8. Be eligible for public recognition of good ORCID integrations
9. Get involved and help shape ORCID’s future priorities and goals
10.Play your part in making the Internet work better for researches

8. Collect
Collect validated ORCID iDs for
individuals
To ensure that they are correctly connected with your
organization
Many vendor systems use the OAuth process
14 June 2016 orcid.org 8
9. Display
Display iDs on your website, platform,
systems
To signal to your researchers and the wider
community that you have plumbed your systems to
support their use of ORCID iDs

Identifiers enable digital connections between people places and things, information that is persistent and uniquely identifiable, machine readable, accessible, and embedding identifiers in workflows make it immediately possible to ascertain HOW the connection was made, by whom, and when
This is our messaging. The focus is for researchers in their orgs, but also for orgs – if you’re trying to sell it to your administration
Notes for presenter:
The ORCID Organization was established in 2010 to address researcher name ambiguity
It was established by several organizations across the scholarly communication industry who were all independently trying to tackle this challenge of name ambiguity, and realized that a collective effort was needed to resolve the problem
We are supported by membership dues from our 500 or so (as of May 2016) member organizations
From the start ORCID was established to be non-profit, non-proprietary and community-driven. Our core principles establish that we be open to all who want to use a common person identifier for research activities and outcomes - regardless of country, discipline, or industry
ORCID is independently governed by a Board of Directors – representatives from member organizations (majority not-for-profit) plus a researcher representative
Although organizations can benefit most from ORCID as members, they can also use the public API to collect ORCID iDs in a validated way and read publicly available information, as well as displaying ORCID iDs on their website and elsewhere.
Benefit 10 was highlighted by respondents to our recent community survey as the number one reason why they personally registered for an ORCID iD
Some aspects from which any org can benefit from, but some for just members
10. Came out of our survey: Top reason that researchers signed up for an ORCID iD
This infographic shows at a high level how ORCID iDs enable interoperability between different systems, helping us make our mantra of ‘Enter once, re-use often’ a reality for researchers and their organizations.
In addition, and very importantly, by validating your researchers’ ORCID iDs when they interact with your systems, you can assert the connection between them and your organization, building trust in scholarly communications overall. For funders, this means asserting the connection between awardees and their grants; for publishers, between authors and their works; and for employers, between researchers and their affiliation with a university or other institution.
Researcher in the middle is authenticating their ID with their institution, who collects their ID, and then connects their info
Our new Collect & Connect program is designed to enable better interoperability between systems and sectors, through improved guidance and support for member integrations, and by taking a community approach – sharing ideas and experiences, recognizing great integrations, and working together to achieve ORCID’s vision. For more see: https://members.orcid.org and https://orcid.org/content/collect-connect
Mostly to assert university affiliation, but if they want to assert other things –awards, publications, etc. That is also great
End of internal messaging for their peers
How you can present to your researchers and community. Obviously our messaging is very generic, but you can tailor for your own community
These are a few examples of why ORCID is needed – please feel free to replace with your own (and share with us!)
The names Wang Xiaoyan, Wang Xiaorong, and Wang Xiaoxue – all which have different characters and pronunciations in Chinese –
can become “Wang, X” in some publications.
While the common Japanese name “Koichi Tanaka” may refer to one of the 2002 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, or any of the many other Koichi Tanakas.
80% of respondents to our 2015 survey (iD holders and non-iD holders) said this was an important or very important reason to register for an iD
67% of survey respondents overall said this was important or very important, but this was significantly higher in Africa (84%), Asia (78%) and Latin America (81%)
Notes for presenter:
Enter once, reuse often. Connect your iD to other systems and profiles to simplify sign-in across systems, reduce time spent filling in forms and reports, and free up more time to do your research
80% of survey respondents believe that an ORCID iD makes it “easier for people to find and share my work”
78% of survey respondents said this was an important reason to register for an iD
Researcher control of their ORCID record is a core ORCID principle (https://orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/principles)
More and more organizations are now requiring researchers to use an ORCID iD, including several funders (see: https://orcid.org/blog/2015/12/04/research-funders-and-orcid-new-members-mandates-and-platforms) and publishers (https://orcid.org/content/requiring-orcid-publication-workflows-open-letter0
There are already around 250 member integrations of ORCID in systems and platforms that researchers use every day, including all the major manuscript submission systems, several grant application systems, major research information management and CRIS systems, university systems, and more
Collecting ORCID iDs from your users, displaying them in your public documents, and connecting and exchanging research information with ORCID, make the Internet work better for everyone – your researchers, your organization, and the whole community
This is another core ORCID principle (https://orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/principles), recently reaffirmed by our Board (https://orcid.org/blog/2016/02/11/updates-orcid-governance-member-elections-and-more)
“Persistent identifiers are a way of helping the internet work better for research” was – somewhat unexpectedly – the top reason that survey respondents who have an iD gave as their reason for registering
Whether for researchers or admin, they will probably want facts and figures
