The research community has lacked the ability to link researchers and scholars with their professional activities.

What is the problem?

•  Discoverability within and across databases •  Acknowledgement and citation of contributions •  Author, grantee, and faculty record management •  Research reporting and impact assessment

Why so difficult? Relying on author names is inadequate for identification


Common Names

“Estimates by China's Ministry of Public Security suggest that more than 1.1 billion people — around 85% of China's population — share just 129 surnames. Problems with abbreviations, ordering of given names and surnames and inconsistent journal practices heighten the confusion.” http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080213/full/451766a.html

Understanding Impact

v How can we reliably connect researchers to their contributions?

v Can we expand our view of what is considered a contribution?

v How do we track research activities across careers? Databases? Organizations?

v How can we measure the impact of our training program? Funding program? Department? Project?


v Funders v Universities &

research organizations

v Publishers v Professional

societies v Researchers

We all have questions:

Identifiers for Researchers Effective evaluation requires:

v Unique and persistent person-identifier that can be used throughout one’s research career, across professional activities, affiliations, nations and languages

v IDs that are integrated in standard workflows, embedded in works metadata, independent of platform, and can be linked with other IDs

v Data exchange standards, accessible data, and links to source docs


v ORCID provides a non-proprietary registry of persistent unique identifiers for researchers

v ORCID iDs are embedded in research systems and ORCID provides an API that enables the interoperable exchange of information between systems

v ORCID code is open source and we support community efforts to develop tools and services

v ORCID links research information across systems through persistent identifiers

ORCID


v ORCID record data marked public by researchers is published annually


Interoperability

ORCID works collaboratively with the research community to ensure use and adoption of research

information exchange standards

“Where possible, it is also recommended that contributors be uniquely identifiable, and data uniquely attributable, through identifiers which are persistent, non-proprietary, open and interoperable (e.g. through leveraging existing sustainable initiatives such as ORCID for contributor identifiers and DataCite for data identifiers).” --European Commission Grantee Guidelines http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa-pilot-guide_en.pdf

“AGU is implementing ORCIDs in our member records, editorial databases, and papers. Having the ability to uniquely identify scientists helps the society, editors, authors, and members in many ways, from improving efficiency to providing services and support.” Brooks Hanson, Director of Publications, American Geophysical Union http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6230-7145

•  Encouraging ORCID adoption by faculty, researchers, and grad students

•  Record creation •  Embedding in repositories, theses and

dissertations •  Tying to university identifiers/directory

information •  Incorporating in researcher information/

CRIS systems

“We want to use ORCIDs to simplify the life of Oxford’s researchers for working with institutional systems and publishers’ systems by re-using already available information for publication data management and reporting. The motto is: Input once – re-use often.” Wolfram Horstmann, Associate Director, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8673-6104

What’s next?

•  Grants & account delegation (Q1) •  Triple the registry to 1.5 million users in 2014 •  Build membership & support adoption: support

national memberships, reduce barriers to using authentication, document use cases

•  Support adoption: Increase international reach: more languages, ambassadors, & community partners
