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

ORCID is a registry
• Free, non-proprietary registry of persistent unique public identifiers for researchers
• Community-led initiative supported by member fees
• Open data and software

27 October 2014 orcid.org 12
• Usage is international; 54 countries with over 10,000 users; 100 with at least 1000 users. Hong Kong is among the top 30 countries and territories, and China is in the top 5.
• ORCID Website is available in several languages; Japanese, Russian, and Portuguese coming soon
Connecting an ORCID iD
27 October 2014 orcid.org 13
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
27 October 2014 orcid.org 15
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
27 October 2014 orcid.org 16
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
27 October 2014 orcid.org 17
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?

The DSpace 5 core supports ORCID. DSpace will release patches for versions 3 and 4. Supported ORCID functionality:
• ORCID lookup during manual submission of new publications
• ORCID lookup for edit operations on already accepted/published items in DSpace
• Batch adding of ORCID metadata using the DSpace metadata CSV upload facilities.
National Approach
Some countries are taking a national approach to ORCID integration, with universities, the national library, and funders coordinating efforts to develop a national CRIS/IR fed by data from ORCID: • Denmark: launched September 2014 • Portugal: launched November 2013 • Sweden: National recommendation 2013 • UK: Jisc / ARMA Pilot Project

① Integrate data fields for persistent identifiers for people, places, and things into your systems
② Collect persistent identifiers during transactions (using authenticated login, not typing!) AND use APIs to help autofill forms
③ Incorporate identifiers into published metadata
