What is ORCID ?
Michael Ladisch, University College Dublin

What is ORCID ?
The ORCID
• Unique, persistent
identifier for researchers &
scholars
• Free to researchers
• Can be used throughout
one’s career, across
professional activities,
disciplines, nations &
languages
• Embedded into workflows
& metadata
• API enables
interoperability between
siloed systems
The ORCID Organization
• Non-profit, non-
proprietary, open, and
community-driven
• Global, interdisciplinary
• Supported by the
membership of
organizations using the
ORCID API
 Funding organizations
 Professional societies
 Universities & research
institutes
 Publishers

Benefits
The research community has lacked the ability to link
researchers with their professional activities.
As a researcher, you want to
• eliminate name ambiguity, distinguishing you
from other researchers and ensuring proper
attribution.
• ensure your work is discoverable and
connected to you throughout your career;
• minimize the time you spend entering repetitive
data online

Common Names
“Estimates by China's Ministry of Public Security
suggest that more than 1.1 billion people —
around 85% of China's population — share just
129 surnames. Problems with abbreviations,
ordering of given names and surnames and
inconsistent journal practices heighten the
confusion.”

How many people with the
name Murphy, Kelly or
O’Sullivan do you know?

Half of the population on
the Korean peninsula share
the three most common
surnames (Kim, Lee, Park)

“Where possible, it is also recommended that
contributors be uniquely identifiable, and data
uniquely attributable, through identifiers which
are persistent, non-proprietary, open and
interoperable (e.g. through leveraging existing
sustainable initiatives such as ORCID for
contributor identifiers and DataCite for data
identifiers).”

ORCID & Funders

Works are discoverable—
and distinguishable from
others—by iD, not just
name
Publishers
are now
requesting
ORCID iDs

ORCID iD is
a part of the
metadata—in
addition to
the author’s
name
Data then
flows into
search tools
like PubMed,
Scopus, and
WOS

Success?
Hard to tell – ORCID IDs are personal
identifiers
Doubled the number of registrations with
UCD email extension – to ca. 600
Probably more, if personal email was used
