Optimizing Discoverability of Research and Scholarship

• To identify and disambiguate name authors of the scholarly record ensuring the works are discoverable and properly attributed

• To provide individual researchers and scholars with a persistent unique identifier

• To provide a mobile record for managing research activities

• To minimize the time spend entering repetitive data • Further, ORCID is working with a range of stakeholders to

integrate ORCID identifiers into research workflows

FOR RESEARCHERS • ORCID eliminates name ambiguities • ORCID reduces repetitive data • ORCID ensures your work (articles,

datasets, grants, …) is discoverable and connected to you throughout your career

• ORCID connects you to other identifiers, and profiles

• You control the privacy of the ORCID record, determining what, how and with whom your information is shared

FOR ORGANIZATIONS • Can create ORCID records on behalf of

their faculty, staff, or students • Can receive alerts from ORCID on the

research activities of their faculty and staff. ORCID data can be used to populate local systems to support networking and collaboration, to populate institutional reporting systems, or for national assessment programs.

• Can include ORCID identifiers in local systems, such as personnel databases, identity management systems, or research information systems, and also supports interoperability with external systems.

• May use ORCID record data to update institutional repositories, grant management systems, and intellectual property databases.

Working in collaboration with the research and scholarly community — universities and research organizations, universities, funders, publishers, professional associations, and vendors — the embedding of ORCID iDs is widespread and includes integration in researcher profile systems, manuscript submission processes, HR systems, grant applications, and in linkages with repositories and other researcher identifier systems. Over 140 members, from every sector of the international research community.
