What is ORCID?
ORCID provides persistent machine-readable names
(aka digital identifiers) for researchers.
Member-built integrations of ORCID identifiers 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

research information

Over 1.4 million researchers have registered for
an ORCID identifier.
ORCID identifiers are associated with:
• 2 million unique DOIs
• 20 thousand unique educational affiliations
• 30 thousand unique employing organizations

8. Identifier plumbing—coupled with
authoritative provenance—provides
the foundation for building trust

ORCID identifier is expressed as a URI:
http://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0000
Read/write/exchange data using open APIs.
Connect to other names and identifiers for
people, places, and things.

11. BIBFRAME

BIBFRAME serves as a general model for expressing and
connecting bibliographic data.
A BIBFRAME Authority is a resource representing a
person, family, organization, jurisdiction, meeting, place, topic,
or temporal expression associated with a BIBFRAME Work,
Instance, or Annotation.
BIBFRAME Authorities are not designed to replace or
compete with existing authorities but rather to provide a
common abstraction layer, or wrapper, around them

14. Building trust:

• Tools to allow for easy addition of identifiers (for
people, places, and things) during publishing, grant
application, thesis deposit, etc.
• Engage the community to embed, authenticate, and
assert

15. ORCID iDs are being embedded in articles

Add your ORCID
identifier during the grant
application process
Wellcome Trust
integrated ORCID
iDs into its eGrants
application system in
2013. Over 1500
applicants registered
for an ORCID
during application,
prior to Wellcome
mandating use in
2015.

22. The metadata “round trip” enables auto-updates
for systems linked to the ORCID registry
Metadata auto-updates
http://orcid.org/blog/2015/01/13/new-webinar-metadata-round-trip

23. • Over 180,000 articles have been
submitted to CrossRef with an associated
ORCID iD
• These will start to flow into the ORCID
registry this year
• Researchers who use their ORCID iD
when they publish will not need to
manually update their record in
ORCID or in connected systems

24. National approach
Community starting to take a national approach to
ORCID adoption and implementation.
• Austria: Funder requirement 2016
• Italy: National implementation 2015
• Finland: National recommendation 2015
• Australia: National recommendation 2015
• Denmark: University launch 2014
• Portugal: Funder requirement 2013
• Sweden: National recommendation 2013
• UK: National recommendation 2012
