BRIF workshop Toulouse 2012 ORCID intro and status update
1 like631 views
This document discusses ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), an organization that aims to solve the problem of name ambiguity in scholarly research by assigning unique identifiers to individual researchers. ORCID has recently launched a live service where researchers can register for a free ORCID iD and begin managing their profile and research contributions. The document outlines several ways ORCID identifiers could be integrated by research institutions, publishers, and other organizations to streamline author attribution and research management processes.

[..] ∼2/3 of the ∼6 million authors in MEDLINE share a last name and first initial with at
least one other author, and an ambiguous name refers to ∼8 persons on average.

- 4. The problem with names (cont) • Number of authors and other scholarly contributors is increasing • Number & kinds of “works” they contribute to is increasing BRIF workshop, Toulouse Oct 22 2012 Monday, 22 October 12
- 5. The problem with names (cont) • Number of authors and other scholarly contributors is increasing • Number & kinds of “works” they contribute to is increasing ‣ The scholarly record is broken ‣ Reliable attribution of authors and contributors is impossible without unique person-level identifiers BRIF workshop, Toulouse Oct 22 2012 Monday, 22 October 12
- 6. Use cases for contributor IDs • Why? – Attribution - link content creators with their works and attribute credit appropriately – Discovery - who contributed to publication X? which publications has person/organization Y contributed to? • What kind of contributions? – Characterizing ‘contributorship‘: role: author, creator, analyst, reviewer contribution: ‘conceived of study & designed experiment’, ‘wrote paper’, ‘performed experiments’ • LHC example: ~2000 ‘authors’ and ~170 institutions BRIF workshop, Toulouse Oct 22 2012 Monday, 22 October 12

- 8. WHO CARES? Lots of people! • Publishers who publish researchers’ work – Accurate author info, dealing with coauthors, generally managing the peer- review & publishing process • Institutions that employ researchers – Evaluating performance of research staff, tenure decisions • Funders who give researchers money – Which PI scientists are getting funded, who are their co-applications, track which research outputs were produced by a given grant • Researchers! – Automated CVs, receive credit, save time when submitting manuscripts to journals BRIF workshop, Toulouse Oct 22 2012 Monday, 22 October 12
- 9. The Open Researcher & Contributor ID initiative ‣ ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary organization involving multiple stakeholders: - Research institutions, libraries, funding organizations, publishers, intermediares and individual researchers ‣ Started in late 2009 to solve the name ambiguity problem in scholarly communication. ‣ Incorporated as a non-profit with a Board of Directors in August 2010. BRIF workshop, Toulouse Oct 22 2012 Monday, 22 October 12
- 10. ORCID Principles 1. ORCID will work to support the crea7on of a permanent, clear and unambiguous record of scholarly communica7on by enabling reliable a@ribu7on of authors and contributors. 2. ORCID will transcend discipline, geographic, na7onal and ins7tu7onal, boundaries. 3. Par7cipa7on in ORCID is open to any organiza7on that has an interest in scholarly communica7ons. 4. Access to ORCID services will be based on transparent and non-‐discriminatory terms posted on the ORCID website. 5. Researchers will be able to create, edit, and maintain an ORCID ID and profile free of charge. 6. Researchers will control the defined privacy seLngs of their own ORCID profile data. 7. All profile data contributed to ORCID by researchers or claimed by them will be available in standard formats for free download (subject to the researchers' own privacy seLngs) that is updated once a year and released under the CC0 waiver. 8. All soTware developed by ORCID will be publicly released under an Open Source SoTware license approved by the Open Source Ini7a7ve. For the soTware it adopts, ORCID will prefer Open Source. 9. ORCID iden7fiers and profile data (subject to privacy seLngs) will be made available via a combina7on of no charge and for a fee APIs and services. Any fees will be set to ensure the sustainability of ORCID as a not-‐for-‐profit, charitable organiza7on focused on the long-‐term persistence of the ORCID system. 10.ORCID will be governed by representa7ves from a broad cross-‐sec7on of stakeholders, the majority of whom are not-‐for-‐profit, and will strive for maximal transparency by publicly pos7ng summaries of all board mee7ngs and annual financial reports.
