The Peer Review Scam

Ferguson, C., Marcus, A. & Oransky, I. Publishing: the peer-review scam. Nature 515, 480 (2014).

In 2012, the Elsevier journal Optics & Laser Technology retracted 11? papers after an unknown party gained access to an editor's account and assigned papers to fake reviewer accounts.

… to verify reviewers' identities, the system now integrates the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) at various points. ORCID identifiers, unique numbers assigned to individual researchers, are designed to track researchers through all of their publications, even if they move institutions.

Remove reporting burdens

We want to use ORCIDs to simplify the life of Oxford’s researchers for working with institutional systems and publishers’ systems by re-using already available information for publication data management and reporting. The motto is: Input once – re-use often.

Role of Universities• Assert affiliation using ORCID and

organization IDs• Use iDs in thesis and dissertation workflows• Use iDs during on/off boarding of staff• Connect iDs to research info management

systems• Receive updates from ORCID

• Most important: engage researchers to register and use iD

orcid.org 25

ORCID@HKU

• Create permanent CAS author home page using ORCID iD

• Exchange works metadata between ORCID and iAuthor

• List ORCID iD on iAuthor account

• Formal MOU for cooperation on researcher outreach
