In EuroPMC, clicking on the author name linked with his/her ORCID will show the researcher
profile with the number of publications & citations, and search results correctly.

• The author Chengshu Wang
is often listed as Wang C in
his publications.
• He uses ORCID so he is
distinguished from other
Wang C in databases.
• His publications are
searchable by his ORCID
(not by name) in EuroPMC,
• … and links back to his
ORCID record to show his
bio, and more publications.
7. HOW TO STAND OUT
FROM THE CROWD?
• ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID) is
a persistent, unique identifier that you can
use throughout your academic career.
• More than 2.6 million researchers have
registered for an iD that helps distinguish them
from others, and correctly link their academic
work and contributions.
• Science, PLOS, IEEE, and other distinguished
international journals are starting to mandate
ORCID when you submit your manuscripts.
• This session will give you a quick
understanding on what ORCID is, how to use
it, and why.

• ORCID member organizations pay for annual
fees to use ORCID API and help to maintain
ORCID records by getting permissions from
each researcher

55. WE NEED YOU TO HELP!
• Researchers can save time if the
organizations they interact with become
ORCID members, connect iDs and their
publications, funding, and other research
activity records
• They need YOUR support to understand
• What is ORCID
• Why use ORCID
• How to make it easy
and spend LESS time on
admin process, and MORE
on research activities

Only full name and email address is required to register for an ORCID identifier. All other fields are optional. Obviously, the more other data associated with the Identifier, the more it is possible to uniquely identify an individual, in particular when more than one record may have been created for the same individual. This why we encourage users to complement their identifier by entering data into their ORCID Record.
Record holders may designate another individual to serve as a proxy to manage their record, or their institution to serve as a delegated manager of their record.
Record holders may manage what data are seen by whom, by adjusting privacy settings, and by selecting trusted organizations with whom to share limited access data and/or update the record with information on research activities linked through workflows.
Organizations may register and create records for their employee, but unless they specify authority to present data publicly, the record will remain private until claimed by the researcher. And, at all times, the researcher has the ability to change privacy, proxy, and trusted party settings.
Field; Group; Activity
ORCID was formed to address the problem of name ambiguity in scholarly communications.

It is the researchers that benefit greatly from ORCID iDs. They can use them throughout their career, and can already use them to distinguish themselves in publications and grants. And many are starting to see the benefits of using ORCID records in outcome tracking. For example, researchers in Portugal who receive federal funding provide their ORCID iD, and benefit from coordinated outcomes reporting by using the ORCID registry as a hub.

In 2016 we are launching a
“Levels Program” to clearly articulate how
organizations can and should be collecting
and connecting ORCID identifers. Our goals
are to clariy goals and expectations across
sectors and improve the trust in connections
between researchers and their proessional
afliations and activities. We will be enhanc-
ing our current guidance by defning prior-
ity implementation scenarios by sector and
developing streamlined communications and
technical documentation.17 ORCID is a com-
munity eort: to beneft, all must participate.
80% of respondents to our 2015 survey (iD holders and non-iD holders) said this was an important or very important reason to register for an iD
67% of survey respondents overall said this was important or very important, but this was significantly higher in Africa (84%), Asia (78%) and Latin America (81%)
Notes for presenter:
Enter once, reuse often. Connect your iD to other systems and profiles to simplify sign-in across systems, reduce time spent filling in forms and reports, and free up more time to do your research
80% of survey respondents believe that an ORCID iD makes it “easier for people to find and share my work”
78% of survey respondents said this was an important reason to register for an iD
Researcher control of their ORCID record is a core ORCID principle (https://orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/principles)
More and more organizations are now requiring researchers to use an ORCID iD, including several funders (see: https://orcid.org/blog/2015/12/04/research-funders-and-orcid-new-members-mandates-and-platforms) and publishers (https://orcid.org/content/requiring-orcid-publication-workflows-open-letter0
There are already around 250 member integrations of ORCID in systems and platforms that researchers use every day, including all the major manuscript submission systems,several grant application systems, major research information management and CRIS systems, university systems, and more
Collecting ORCID iDs from your users, displaying them in your public documents, and connecting and exchanging research information with ORCID, make the Internet work better for everyone – your researchers, your organization, and the whole community
This is another core ORCID principle (https://orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/principles), recently reaffirmed by our Board (https://orcid.org/blog/2016/02/11/updates-orcid-governance-member-elections-and-more)
“Persistent identifiers are a way of helping the internet work better for research” was – somewhat unexpectedly – the top reason that survey respondents who have an iD gave as their reason for registering
