Slides from presentation with Pablo de Castro at Open Repositories 2013 (http://or2012.net/) ORCID provides individual researchers and scholars with a persistent unique identifier. Initial adoption has been rapid but the full benefit will be realized only if ORCID iDs are used by all stakeholder communities. ORCID iDs enable reuse of items in new contexts by making connections between items from the same author in different places. Through its author-focused approach ORCID will contribute to bridging the current divide between management of publications and research data, which are often carried out in independent ways through different, frequently disconnected kinds of repositories. We discuss procedures and strategies for ORCID iD implementation in two different contexts: Open Access repositories, and institutional research information management systems.

3.  ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary,
open, not-for-profit, community-driven
organization. We collaborate with researchers
and organizations across the research
community.
 Our core mission is to provide an open registry
of persistent unique identifiers for researchers
and scholars AND to automate linkages to
research works by embedding identifiers in
research workflows.

8. “
Encourage adoption of unique persistent
researcher IDs:
... The ORCID system also will allow
individuals to identify their research output
and create a registry of IDs. SciENcv will
include a utility that make it easy for users
to obtain an ORCID and to link it to their
publications and grants.

How to join ORCID

11. Affiliations
• Much requested addition to ORCID registry
• Have not wanted to do “dumb” free text
• Will use ISNI institution ids via Ringgold

12. Growth in ORCID iDs

13. Via Website and API

14. Integrations significant

15. Available free to the community: registry (orcid.org), open
source code (github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Source/wiki), sandbox
for testing APIs
(support.orcid.org/knowledgebase/articles/166623-about-the-
orcid-sandbox), Public API, documentation, annual public data
file (orcid.org/content/orcid-public-data-file), participation in

Open and member services

16. Easy REST API
• Public data available via public API

17. arXiv experiment
• How far can one get with DOI-based author
matching?
• ~7.5k author ids on arXiv with >=1 DOI
• 68k author-DOI pairs
• Query ORCID API for each DOI
• See if arXiv and ORCID have matching author name (exact
only in expt)
• Accept association if all examples for author match => 306
accepted
• Better with fuzzy name match; more ORCIDs; etc.

19. Integration flows
1. Get a user’s ORCID iD
2. Get data from an ORCID Record
3. Let a user import from your system to their
ORCID Record
4. Enable the user to display on their ORCID record
a link to themself on your system
5. Create ORCID iDs for employees and associates
See guide: http://orcid.org/organizations/integrators

20. Cornell integration plans
• Library would like to promote ORCID adoption
– good for our researchers
– expose author identity in VIVO, eCommons, etc.
• Encourage ORCID iD creation, tie to VIVO accounts
