What I’ll cover
• Background
• ORCID pilot projects in the UK
• Use cases – why did the UK go for ORCID?
• Consensus?
3
• January 2013 Joint statement in support of ORCID (ARMA, HEFCE, HESA, RCUK, UCISA, Wellcome Trust, Jisc); joint implementation plan
September 2013 Jisc report: use cases and views on the future of ORCID in UK Higher Education
May 2014 – January 2015Jisc-ARMA ORCID pilot project: institutional implementation case studies; assess costs benefits and risks; investigate national ORCID membership for UK; Jisc/ARMA contribution to joint implementation plan

Why ORCID? Review of use cases
• streamline and improve reporting processes to funders
• facilitate transfer of information about researchers and their outputs when they move organisation
• serve as a tool to manage access to and monitor use of national and international resources and facilities
• enable better historical analysis and description of research constellations and emerging new fields
• by facilitating more, and also more accurate, activity tracking, it has the potential to broaden the scope of CVs and outputs and achievements for junior researchers

Why ORCID? University pilots
• University of York
– “The guiding principle of ORCID implementation at York will be the benefit it brings to researchers.”
– “The University of York publications policy (pending formal approval) will require the use of ORCID by researchers when submitting and recording their publications.”
– Technical systems: EPrints, Elsevier PURE
Why ORCID? University pilots
• University of Southampton
– “The aim is to use the ORCID IDs to improve the chain of identity between systems, minimising the administrative steps needed and maximising the potential of data.”
– “Three tiered approach with a combination of:• a roll out of ORCID ID for all researchers with institution- ‐
wide impetus • focus on a specific proof ‐of ‐concept exemplar working
with the equipment focussed research community• services working in partnership with research groups to
support cultural engagement and researcher- ‐led uptake”
– Technical systems: EPrints, Equipment.data
Why ORCID? University pilots
• University of Oxford
– “The problem is common across the university in matters surrounding statutory reporting, digital scholarship (research outputs) and in other matters around research information management.”
– “The main premis for the University is that all it requires is an ORCID is linked to a user’s personal profile at Oxford via their SSO (Single Sign On) username in order to improve its research information management, and to be able to offer more streamlined services to authors.”
– Technical systems: Symplectic, Fedora/Hydra
Why ORCID? University pilots
• University of Kent
– “To encourage Kent PhD students and early career researchers to sign-up for ORCID. This group are often very mobile at the early stages of their career so a persistent identifier would be particularly useful.”
– “Examine and report on the potential of ORCID IDs to aid effective reporting internally, back to funders, HEFCE, HESA and other agents.”
– Technical systems: EPrints, Thomson-Reuters Converis
Why ORCID? University pilots
• Swansea University
– “Bulk ORCID and ISNI registration on behalf of staff
– Integrate ORCID and ISNI with RIS and Cronfa Repository and Personal Web Pages
– Sharing experiences with Welsh Repository Network
– Working with staff to raise awareness and engagement”
– Technical systems: DSpace, CRIS
Why ORCID? University pilots
• Imperial College
– ”In January 2014 the Provost’s Board at Imperial College London approved a proposal for the University to become a member of ORCID, to issue all staff and research students with an identifier and to integrate ORCID into processes and technical systems.”
– “…automatically share information between the College’s institutional repository and external systems to increase the visibility of our research outputs. Increased uptake of ORCID would simplify that process…”
– Technical systems: DSpace, Symplectic Elements
Why ORCID? University pilots
• Aston University
– “Improving the level of publications in PURE / repository
– Move our researchers towards an Open Access culture and Compliance with Funders’ Requirements
– Raise Aston’s research profile in the global HE environment”
– Technical systems: EPrints, PURE
Summary: why ORCID?
• Universities have old and new roles in research:
– Reporting (to funders, to statutory bodies, to show impact..)
– Strategic planning (target resources, collaborate/compete)
– Publishing (eg, paying APCs, also university presses)
– Data curation
– Facilities management, etc.
• So their systems need interoperability with third party services - PubMed, Scopus, CrossRef, DataCite, equipment.data, etc
