What do PIDs do, exactly?
① Enable machine readability ② Disambiguate and enforce uniqueness ③ Enable linking and data integration
Persistent identifiers provide a
simple basis for digital data governance

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

Connecting an ORCID iD
5 November 2014 orcid.org 14
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
5 November 2014 orcid.org 17
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
5 November 2014 orcid.org 18
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?
