IntroductionJosh Brown


Why ORCID?


“Of the more than 6 million authors in a major journal citations and abstracts database, more than two-thirds of them share a last name and single initial with another author, and an ambiguous name in the same database refers on average to eight people.”

VIVO & ORCIDKristi Holmes, PhD


What is VIVO?

1. An open source semantic web application

2. An information model

3. An open community

VIVOAn open-source semantic web application that enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines in an institution.

How are ORCID and VIVO complementary?


ORCID iD is the permanent, global identifier, with enough information to aid in disambiguation of the person

VIVO is typically an institutionally-managed profile of the researcher’s activities and outputs


Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Serieshttp://www.co2partners.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/path.png

VIVO stays at the institution,

ORCID stays with the researcher

• So especially for early-career researchers, ORCID iDs will link VIVO profiles at different institutions as the researcher moves

• Place as well as name changes over time -- even for established people

Longitudinal tracking of people – a tough nut to crack!

• Scholars and Trainees• Alumni• Visiting scientists• Administrators• Mentors and mentees


Draft


Longitudinal tracking of people – a tough nut to crack!

• the role ORCID is currently playing

• Enhancing the process through researcher information systems


Accreditation requirements

• One institution has a behind-the-firewall VIVO to track their alumni for 3 years after graduation, a requirement for accreditation

• ORCID iDs would help reduce the effort


VIVO

Galter Library’s Metrics and Impact Core

• The Metrics and Impact Core (MIC), housed in Galter Library, has expertise in bibliometrics, data visualization, continuous improvement, information systems and alternative metrics. The core provides extensive advisory services for researchers, groups or departments on topics such as:

• developing successful publishing strategies• managing or tracking publications• maintaining an impactful online identity• measuring or assessing research impact by discipline• communicating research impact to audiences

• MIC uses a wide collection of resources, including Scopus, Web of Science, Essential Science Indicators, Google Scholar, NU Scholars, Journal Citation Reports, and more, to provide services and reports for:

• Researchers or clinicians to demonstrate impact of published works to promotion or tenure committees, or the impact of research studies to funding agencies when applying for funding

• Research groups/institutions/departments to discover how research findings are being used to promote science, or an overall view of research publications and outputs by a specific group

Mission: Speeding transformative research discoveries to patients and the community

Volume of investigators who use services, take training, and other activities

Seeking data1. a better perspective of scholarly outputs for everyone

• Multiple sources covering multiple subjects and disciplines; authoritative sources; Disambiguated and de-duplicated

1. a way to tie these outputs to institutional efforts, systems, and workflows in a meaningful way grants and to our IR

2. a way to track this information moving forward3. a better perspective of scholarly outputs for everyone

• ORCID allows longitudinal tracking• Diverse outputs• Can be a compliment to survey data• Helpful for alumni

Nobody gets excited about filling out annual data reports and it is hard to track our scholars after they leave our institution… ORCID offers us a way to make that more automated with our profiling systems.

ORCID iDs & VIVO ProfilesJon Corson-Rikert


How do ORCID iDs and VIVO profiles work together?

• In the VIVO-ISF ontology• Through VIVO software extensions

• Examples–Cornell–George Washington University–Texas A&M University–University of Colorado-Boulder


ORCID iDs in the VIVO-ISF ontology

• The property vivo:orcidId is an object

property to support connecting VIVO and

ORCID in the linked data web

• The object value is a resource of the form http://orcid.org/NNNN-NNNN-NNNN-NNNN

• VIVO displays the iD as a direct link to the

person’s ORCID record


http://orcid.org/NNNN-NNNN-NNNN-NNNN

2014 ORCID A&I Grant

• Cornell received a 2014 ORCID Adoption and Integration grant, funded by the Sloan Foundation

• Enabled VIVO as of the 1.7 release to support communication between VIVO and ORCID

• Create or confirm an ORCID iD directly with ORCID from VIVO


Dual Outcomes

• VIVO adds the ORCID iD to the person’s VIVO profile and linked data–Displays in VIVO as either

“confirmed” or “pending confirmation”

• VIVO requests permission to provide a VIVO URI to ORCID



ORCID Record Linked to VIVO


Examples

• Cornell – simplest approach through VIVO and orcid.cornell.edu

• George Washington University – pilot profile population from ORCID records

• Texas A&M – creating ORCID iDs for graduate students, adding them to VIVO

• University of Colorado – creating ORCID iDs for faculty members


Cornell Low Key Approach

• Offer the opportunity to create or confirm an ORCID iD through VIVO–Complicated by separate faculty

reporting path for part of the campus–Hoping to move the whole campus to

Symplectic Elements and also leverage their ORCID integration

• orcid.cornell.edu available in the mean time and for grad students


George Washington University

• Part of a larger 5-university VIVO pilot by the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA)– Goal is to link researchers across 70

member institutions

• Justin Littman has pulled in publications and other information from ORCID as a proof of concept alternative to self-edit for researchers not included in faculty reporting



Sample GWU Screenshot

Texas A&M University

• Also recipient of 2014 ORCID A&I grant• Minted over 10,000 ORCID iDs and

added them to an internal-facing VIVO• Focus on grad students, with intent to

expand to faculty• Violeta Ilik modeled the data using

Karma and ingested into VIVO–Karma data integration tool from USC– http://www.isi.edu/integration/karma/

• Mint iDs• Manage

existing iDs

• Automate publishing

University of Colorado-Boulder

• Again a VIVO-related recipient of 2014 ORCID A&I grant

• Joint initiative of the Office of Faculty affairs and the Library

• ORCID iDs to be used in a number of campus systems–And shared with other university and

affiliated systems


CU Boulder Process & Timeline

• April, 2014 – pre-registration communication with campus

• July, 2014 – 3209 new registrations

– Tenure-track, instructors, research faculty, but not temporary faculty

– 3 opt-out requests received

– 210 faculty with pre-existing ORCID iDs, including 90 with emails at ORCID; reconciled this information separately


CU Boulder (continued)

• 22% of the faculty had claimed their ORCID iD within 3 days

• As of 4/14/15:–Total claimed = 1657–Total deactivated ~12–Total ORCID iDs registered= 3334–Claim rate 49.7%


Ongoing Implementation

• A new ORCID module is included on the reporting tool used for the annual merit process–Shows the status of their ORCID iD

and helps the faculty get info to claim or use their ORCID

• Added claimed ORCID iD hyperlink to VIVO CU-Boulder profile pages


June 11, 2013 Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Series

CU Boulder Ongoing Implementation (continued)

• Created view for department heads to see ORCID iDs for their faculty including whether it has been claimed

• Shared claimed ORCID iDs for Boulder faculty with CCTSI partners at the CU Anschutz Medical School to show on Colorado Profiles, a medical research network for the University of Colorado based on Harvard Profiles and PubMed data

• Renewed ORCID membership


CU Boulder – Upcoming ToDos

• Rerun the registration process to pick up about 550 new faculty hires

• Leverage new functionality in Symplectic Elements around ORCID iD

• Consider new options for managing ORCID registration for new hires (VIVO, Elements, or others)

• Consider how/if we want to push or ingest data to/from ORCID


Colorado Research Diamond

• As part of Flagship 2030, CU hopes to develop a collaborative enterprise among regional universities, businesses, government, and federal laboratories to develop and apply new technologies

• ORCID iDs shared across VIVOs at UNAVCO, NCAR, and CU Boulder will help enable that vision

Challenges & ConfusionsSimeon Warner


“How much information should my ORCID record have?”

“I have a VIVO profile so why should I maintain one in ORCID too?”

•Bottom line is that it is a researcher choice, they are in control•A certain amount of information and linking is very helpful

Minimal record

Registration is quick and easy, just 30 seconds to enter

1. name2. email3. password4. agree to privacy policy

A minimal ORCID record that is enough to get an iD and use it in research workflows

Helpful ORCID record (1)

Reasons to add a little more information:

1.Provide enough information so that someone who follows a link to your record, or searches for you, can understand which "John Smith" you are

– alternate names– education and employment information– a few works. Everyone likes to show off their best

work …– opens the door for disambiguation of existing data

Helpful ORCID record (2)

Reasons to add a little more information:

2.Provide other identifiers so that ORCID can act as a switchboard to connect your identities in different systems.

– local profile id (e.g. my VIVO id at Cornell)– Scopus Author ID, Researcher ID, ISNI– (Using the search and link wizards that connect to

these other systems is also the easiest way to add works.)

Expansive ORCID record

There are many import wizards for– connection of an ORCID record to other identifiers– import of works, grants, etc.. – source is recorded and provides way to assess trust– manual entry also supported

UI groups information about the same work from multiple sources

– user can select preferred one

You may make your ORCID record a complete picture of your research

contributions if you choose.

But a complete record isn't necessary for ORCID to work and

you can link to other profile systems such as VIVO.


ORCID and the Semantic Web

• An ORCID iD is a URI• ORCID has limited support for RDF• More work on 2015 roadmap

• New W3C report suggesting improvements to clarify identifier semantics

• Ivan Herman (W3C) serving on ORCID Technical Steering Group


Which person identifier?

ORCID, ISNI, VIAF, id.loc.gov,…?•No single person identifier for all uses•ORCID is researcher driven and designed to be used in workflows:

“An ounce of ambiguity avoidance is worth a pound of disambiguation”

•Workflow integration avoids name ambiguity at source


Hub identifier linking to other identifiers and to profiles in other systems

Profusion of IdentifiersKristi Holmes


Profusion of Identifiers

Profusion of URIs for people– Can ORCID provide crosswalking

services and function as a global sameAs registry?

– ORCID already supports researchers supplementing their records with additional external URIs -- this is a key use case for ORCID

•What are the temporal aspects?•How can goals of linked data be achieved in concert with other groups such as libraries, disciplinary repositories, etc.


International ContextJosh Brown


VIVO, ORCID and others
