2. 2
What is ORCID?
ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that
distinguishes researchers from each other
Member-built integrations in key research workflows
such as manuscript and grant submission support
automated linkages between researchers and their
professional activities and affiliations, ensuring that
works are appropriately attributed and discoverable
ORCID serves as a hub enabling machine-readable
connections between identifiers for organizations,
works, and person IDs

3. Algorithms not enough
• Different versions (full
name vs. initials)
• Shared names
• Transliteration
• Alternative characters
• Name changes
• Multiple family names

4. The research community has lacked the
ability to link researchers and scholars
with their professional activities.
What is the problem?
• Discoverability within and across databases
• Author, grantee, and faculty record management
• Output tracking
• Research reporting and impact assessment

The author can pre-populate
submission form fields:
preferred name, affiliation,
funding
The authenticated iD becomes
a part of the paper
Upon publication, the iD is
indexed by CrossRef, Scopus,
Web of Science, and other
services.
Information flows through
ORCID to linked platforms

ORCID Publisher Workflow
Publisher
requests the
author to sign in
with their
ORCID iD

14. orcid.org 14
ORCID Publisher Workflow
Author is
directed to
ORCID to sign
in and authorize
access or create
a new account

15. orcid.org 15
ORCID Publisher Workflow
The author is
then returned to
your site with
their ORCID iD
and
authorization

16. orcid.org 16
ORCID Publisher Workflow
Collect the
ORCID iDs of
additional
authors (and
role) by sending
them an email
message.You can
also collect
reviewers'
ORCID iDs in
the same way.

17. orcid.org 17
ORCID Publisher Workflow
When the paper
is published,
include the
ORCID iDs in
the print and
electronic paper
and in the
publication
metadata.

18. orcid.org 18
ORCID Publisher Workflow
Add the
publication to
the authors’
ORCID records,
using the access
tokens and
ORCID iDs that
you collected
and stored in
your system.

26. • Identify authors
• Embedding ORCID identifiers in research workflows including
manuscript submission supports timely and complete
attribution by automating the contributor-research linkage.
• Simplify manuscript submission
• ORCID’s system-to-system authentication provides a
researcher with the option to create a “trusted relationship”
with a publisher, share information to speed the manuscript
submission process, and automatically update their record with
metadata on accepted manuscripts.
• Improve author search
• ORCID clearly links authors –and all their name variants—with
their research works, improving the quality of author search
results.
