3. What do PIDs do, exactly?
â Enable machine readability
⥠Disambiguate and enforce uniqueness
⢠Enable linking and data integration
Persistent identifiers provide a
simple basis for digital data governance

6. Name ambiguity is a problem
⢠Different versions (full name vs. initials)
⢠Shared names
⢠Transliteration
âEstimates by China's Ministry of Public
Security suggest that more than 1.1 billion
people â around 85% of China's population
â share just 129 surnames. Problems with
abbreviations, ordering of given names and
surnames and inconsistent journal practices
heighten the confusion.â

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

⢠Usage is international; 54
countries with over 10,000
users; 100 with at least 1000
users. Hong Kong is among
the top 30 countries and
territories, and China is in
the top 5.

13. Connecting an ORCID iD
27 October 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
13
Journals are asking authors for their ORCID iD
at time of manuscript submission.
16. ⢠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
27 October 2014 orcid.org

17. 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

18. vďś How can researchers be reliably connected to their
contributions?
vďś Can we expand our view of what is considered a
contribution?
vďś How do we track research activities across a career?
Databases? Organizations?
vďś How can we measure the impact of a training program?
Funding program? Department? Project?

The DSpace 5 core supports
ORCID. DSpace will release
patches for versions 3 and 4.
Supported ORCID functionality:
⢠ORCID lookup during manual
submission of new publications
⢠ORCID lookup for edit
operations on already accepted/
published items in DSpace
⢠Batch adding of ORCID metadata
using the DSpace metadata CSV
upload facilities.
25. 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 CRIS/IR fed by data from ORCID:
⢠Denmark: launched September 2014
⢠Portugal: launched November 2013
⢠Sweden: National recommendation 2013
⢠UK: Jisc / ARMA Pilot Project
