Research activity

•  Grant •  Dataset •  Meeting •  Presentation •  Collaboration •  ETC.

Name ambiguity is a problem

•  Different versions (full name vs. initials) •  Shared names •  Transliteration

“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.” http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080213/full/451766a.html

Name ambiguity is a problem

•  Accents and other ALT characters •  Name changes •  Multiple family names

Use is International


•  Usage is international; 54 countries with over 10,000 users; 100 with at least 1000 users.

•  Japan is among the top 10 countries based on Registry usage.

•  ORCID Website is available in several languages; Japanese, Russian, and Portuguese coming soon

Connecting an ORCID iD


The authenticated iD becomes a part of the paper

The author can pre-populate form fields: preferred name, affiliation, funding

Upon publication, the iD is indexed by CrossRef, Scopus, Web of Science, and other services.

Information flows to ORCID and linked platforms

Journals are asking authors for their ORCID iD at time of manuscript submission.

DOI

Identifiers are being embedded in articles


DOI

FundRef

•  Over 130,000 articles have been submitted to CrossRef with an associated ORCID iD

•  These will start to flow into the ORCID registry before the end of the year

•  Researchers who use their ORCID iD when they publish will not need to manually update their record


Publishers can make using an identifier easy for researchers by:

•  Collecting identifiers during submission and review (using authenticated login, not typing!) AND autofilling forms

•  Publishing identifiers in reviews, meetings, and manuscripts

•  Updating author and reviewer ORCID records


Publishers can help

v How can researchers be reliably connected to their contributions?

v Can we expand our view of what is considered a contribution?

v How do we track research activities across a career? Databases? Organizations?

v How can we measure the impact of a training program? Funding program? Department? Project?


We all have questions:

Beyond Publishing
