ORCID: Make sure your publications are associated

with YOU, not that other Bob Smith!

Over the next several months you will be hearing a lot more about ORCID

(Open Researcher and Contributor ID). ORCID is a unique persistent alpha-

numeric identifier assigned to an academic author that ensures the

author’s contributions are attributed correctly. It also assures continuity

across institutions. Penn State University is now an institutional member of

ORCID.

It is often difficult to accurately identify a particular author’s scientific

output because personal names are not unique. Generally it requires a

significant amount of manipulation to retrieve a reasonably accurate

publication list for a particular author from multiple electronic databases.

Some of the problems encountered include:

Faculty need to be able to easily attach their identity to all types of

research outputs. These can include journal articles, datasets,

equipment, citations, experiments, patents, notebooks, and various

types of media. As it becomes the de facto norm to collaborate across

disciplines, institutions, and internationally, faculty must interact with an

increasing number of disparate research information systems. ORCID

can help you with this. ORCID has two main functions: “(1) a registry to

obtain a unique identifier and manage a record of activities, and (2)

APIs that support system-to-system communication and

authentication.“ (http://orcid.org/content/initiative)

The ORCID community is expanding rapidly. It includes individual re-

searchers/faculty, universities, national laboratories, national science

agencies, commercial research organizations, funders, publishers, data repositories, and international

professional societies. Funding organizations like the NIH and Wellcome Trust are requesting ORCID iDs

during grant submission. Publishers, such as Elsevier, are beginning to require ORCID iD’s when

submitting a manuscript. ORCID iD’s are being incorporated into society membership renewals and

integrated into full-text databases. Many institutions, like Boston University, are now creating ORCID iD’s

for their faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. We encourage you to obtain your free ORCID iD.

The Harrell Health Sciences Library held the fourth annual READ Poster Recognition Award

Ceremony on October 9th 2014. This award is designed to recognize individuals who are, and

have been, strong supporters of the library. A committee of faculty and staff, both from within

and outside the library, selected the honorees.

Each READ honoree was photographed with a book of their choice to create a READ

poster. These posters will remain on display in the library until the next annual cycle and will

also be displayed electronically on a library webpage. Visit the READ award’s webpage for

more information.

We are very excited to recognize the 2014 group of READ honorees:

Learning Anatomy?

Anatomy.TV, Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, and Netter Reference can all be

found on the HHSL’s new online Anatomy Resource Guide. The guide also features popular

anatomy e-books and a link to the HHSL’s anatomy books on reserve.

Anatomy.TV is an anatomy learning tool

available through Penn State University

Libraries and the Harrell Health Sciences

Library. This title was recommended by

teaching faculty, and a subscription was

purchased in 2013. This subscription can

be used for medical, nursing, allied health,

and biomechanical engineering education,

as well as anyone interested in learning

anatomy.

Anatomy.TV allows users to explore regional

anatomy with a 3D model, compare model

structures with real MR Images, and test

their knowledge with built in quizzes. A large

collection of videos and dissection slides

accompany the 3D model to enhance learn-

ing. Course instructors are free to save and

download videos and images to include in

educational presentations and assignments.

ScholarSphere, Penn State’s institutional repository service, is excited to announce the

launch of a major update that will make it easier than ever for Penn State faculty,

researchers, and students to upload, preserve, manage, and share their scholarly work in

the free digital repository. **ScholarSphere should not be used for datasets and projects

containing identifiable patient information.**

The service gives the Penn State community a secure way to share its work with a larger

audience by providing users with persistent URLs for their documents and datasets so that

they can easily be linked to when applying for research grants or submitting an article for

publication.

The new ScholarSphere site introduces a more intuitive interface and an enhanced user

dashboard, as well as several new features including file analytics on your documents, a

featured works and researcher section, and integration with Box at Penn State–additions

which will hopefully help you increase the reach and impact of your work.

To learn more about ScholarSphere, the launch of the new interface, and how to find help with the ser-

vice, visit http://sites.psu.edu/librarynews/2014/09/22/scholarsphere-launches-new-interface-and-

features/.

Clinical Translation App: Canopy Penn State Hershey students, faculty, and staff are invited

to download a medical translation app that is being made

available to our institution free of charge by the vendor.

Canopy Medical Translator allows you to choose a language

such as Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and more, then choose a

specialty. It offers many choices of healthcare professionals’

commonly used phrases for various procedures such as “I

need to listen to your heart.” There are phrases for emergen-

cy medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and obstetrics/

gynecology. Select a phrase, and the app “speaks” it for you

through your device’s audio. Watch the video here.

Canopy Medical Translator is supported by the NIH.
