Digital scholarly communications require information that is machine readable 2
Name Ambiguity Is a Problem Shared names Different versions (full name vs. initials) Transliteration
Name Ambiguity Is a Problem Accents and other ALT characters Name changes Multiple family names
One researcher may have many profiles or identifiers 5
What is ORCID? ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher Through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, ORCID supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities, ensuring that your work is appropriately attributed and discoverable 6
ORCID is a registry Free, non-proprietary registry of persistent unique public identifiers for researchers Community-led initiative supported by member fees Open data, software, APIs, and documentation 7
ORCID is more than a registry (but not a profile system or a repository) 8
ORCID provides plumbing for research information 29 April 2015 orcid.org 9
ORCID is a hub With other identifiers, ORCID enables machine-readable connections with: DOI ISBN Publishers Repositories DOI URI Thesis ID Funders FundRefID GrantID works organizations person IDs Other person identifiers ISNI Researcher ID Scopus Author ID Internal identifiers Professional Associations Member ID Abstract ID Higher Education and Employers ISNI Ringgold ID 10
Community integrations ORCID ids are being embedded in articles
and publication search engines 29 April 2015 orcid.org 12
and also in theses, personnel records 29 April 2015 orcid.org 13
and association membership systems 29 April 2015 orcid.org 14
and datasets and data management Witt 2014 PeerJ 2015 29 April 2015 orcid.org 15
... and grants 29 April 2015 orcid.org 16
ORCID is an interdisciplinary effort We have an international scope ORCID provides foundational services that improve scholarly communications for all researchers 29 April 2015 orcid.org 17

Leveraging Ringgold and ISNI Organization list from Ringgold (an ISNI Registrar) 29 April 2015 orcid.org 27
VIAF, ISNI and ORCID VIAF and ISNI VIAF data was used to populate the initial ISNI database VIAF selectively uses ISNI data for correction and enrichment and adds appropriate ISNI identifiers to VIAF clusters, and vice versa ISNI and ORCID Already can be linked via ISNI2ORCID Have agreed approach to interoperation VIAF ISNI ORCID 29 April 2015 orcid.org 28
How does ORCID work? Registry allows researchers to connect to existing works and affiliations Members build integrations to connect researchers to new works and affiliations 29 April 2015 orcid.org 29
Researcher engagement 29 April 2015 orcid.org 30
Take 30 seconds to register at http://orcid.org/register Free to researchers Individual owns the record and controls privacy settings Works on laptops, tablets, and phones Register for your
Getting started Use free tools to connect your ORCID identifier to your name variations, affiliations, and your existing works and funding
Link to existing works Researchers can connect to existing works and push ORCID id into indexes including Web of Science, Scopus, and Europe PubMedCentral Connect your ORCID id to existing works by using tools in ORCID interface or in external platforms 33
Link to awarded projects Funders can embed ORCID during the grant application workflow Researchers can connect to existing projects ORCID record includes, funder name, grant number, source, other provenance 29 April 2015 orcid.org 34
Link to organization List auto-populates based on type-ahead All organizations have unique id University or employer can pre-populate and validate association Can associate with multiple organizations 29 April 2015 orcid.org 35

Metadata auto-updates The metadata round trip enables auto-updates for systems linked to the ORCID registry http://orcid.org/blog/2015/01/13/new-webinar-metadata-round-trip
Over 180,000 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 in ORCID or in connected systems 29 April 2015 orcid.org 38
