1 Standards in Science Publishing: Persistent Person Identifiers CSE Meeting, Montreal 5 May 2013 Laurel L. Haak, PhD Executive Director, ORCID L.Haak@orcid.org Start Here Contact Info: p a Motor City Drive, Suite 750, Bethesda, MD USA orcid.org What is the problem? The research community has lacked the ability to link researchers and scholars with their professional activities. 2 Discoverability within and across databases Author record management Member and meeting management Reviewer selection Disclosure and COI The solution ORCID id: unique and persistent identifier for researchers and scholars 16-digit number Expressed as URI Compatible with ISNI ISO standard

2 ORCID Mission ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary, open, not-for-profit, community-driven organization. We collaborate with researchers and organizations across the research community. Our core mission is to provide an open registry of persistent unique identifiers for researchers and scholars AND to automate linkages to research works by embedding identifiers in research workflows. 4 Open identifier and APIs Public API No token or registration needed Can only access data marked as public Can only READ Member API Registration and token needed With permission, can access data marked as limited Can READ, EDIT, APPEND. Employers can CREATE Users control privacy Individuals manage the privacy settings of information in their ORCID Record Accessible by anyone Accessible by Account Owner, Proxy(ies), Trusted Organization(s) Accessible by Account Owner, Proxy(ies)

3 Benefits to the community Unique and persistent id can be used throughout career across professional activities and affiliations ORCID id is embedded in works metadata, independent of platform Improved system interoperability across discipline, organization, and country Reduced reporting workload for researchers Automates repository deposition Supports institutional reporting 7 For benefits to be realized Researchers must see the benefit of creating ORCID ids AND must create or claim an ORCID Account Research information processes and systems must adopt ORCID as a standard person identifier AND embed ORCID ids AND link back with the ORCID Registry 8 Use is international 9 As of May 3, ORCID had 131,143 registered users. Steady growth since launch 11 countries >10,000 visitors 49 countries >1000

4 Embedding is widespread University CRIS systems (Boston Univ, Oviedo, Avedas...) Manuscript submission (Nature, Hindawi, APS, Copernicus ) Grant applications (NIH, Wellcome Trust ) Linkage with repositories (CrossRef, EBI-EMBL ) Linkage with other IDs (RID, Scopus ) Exploring integration in association membership and conference systems, and ORCID has been proposed as a component of both FIM and COI systems. 10 Example workflows 1. Embedding in manuscript submission and production 2. Linking to CRIS and importing information 3. Linking to external identifier 4. Consuming data to generate usage statistics Manuscript submission 12 last year s launch of the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) facility is to be welcomed. The core function of ORCID a community collaboration is to assign every researcher a number and a web page, thereby providing a unique identifier and so disambiguation. The web page enables the researcher to record their contributions: papers they have published and a facility to come their research grants and patents. Nature journals authors can link their ORCID to their account in our manuscript submission and tracking system, and we will soon be publishing authors ORCIDs in papers.

5 2. CRIS system integration Link between profle and ORCID id Import publications from ORCID Record Linking to other IDs Create an ORCID id or associate existing ORCID id with ResearcherID Exchange profile and/ or publication data between ORCID and ResearcherID Generating usage statistics 15

6 Encourage your authors to register for an ORCID id Encourage your organization to become an ORCID member and embed ids Ensure the id is captured, validated, embedded, and deposited Ensure the display standards are used Contribute your ideas! What can editors do? Other 8% Publishers 28% External IDs 10% ORCID Registry 48% 5 May 2013 orcid.org 16 Social 1% Repository 0% Google 5% 2013 roadmap Q1 Launch Ambassador Program Publish Open Source Code Call for Developers: May Codefest Workflow for Localization New Features: Multi Standard Integration: Publishers Premium Benefits: Reports, Webhooks Q3 Start work on claim store reqts Call for Developers: October Codefest Launch UI in Spanish, French, Chinese New Features: Patents, Cross-link works Standard Integration: Universities Q2 Train Ambassadors Build out methods for Open Source Cmty Host May Outreach Mtg and Codefest Launch Localized UI #1 (ORC) New Features: Affiliations, Grants, Proxies Std Integration: External IDs, Repositories Std Framework: Search and Import Q4 Complete work on claim store reqts Host October Outreach Mtg and Codefest New Features: Pictures, Author linking, Invite Std Integration: Funders
