PKP Open Journal System: ORCID workflows (Alec Smecher)
4 likes1,120 views
PKP is a multi-university collaboration that develops open-source journal management and publishing software like Open Journal Systems and Open Monograph Press. Their software allows journals and publications to have online workflows for submissions, peer review, and publishing. However, identifying and linking author records across different journals and installations has been challenging due to the decentralized nature of the software installations. PKP is working to integrate ORCID identifiers into their user accounts to better connect author records and publications across installations and facilitate the creation of author profiles and metrics.

- 1. Public Knowlege Project (PKP) Multi-institution Collaboration Open Journal Systems Open Monograph Press Open Conference Systems Open Harvester Systems XML conversion, ALM/alt-metrics, publishing cooperatives, ... “PKP is a multi-university initiative developing (free) open source software and conducting research to improve the quality and reach of scholarly publishing”
- 5. Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) ● OJS is downloaded and installed on your server ● We (PKP) might never know you exist ● Your installation lives on its own little planet
- 6. Online Workflow: Users and Authors ● Case 1: Submitter is Author – Submitter: Alec Smecher (SFU) – Author: Alec K Smecher (SFUUBC) We already have discrepancies. Addressing =/= Identifying.
- 7. Online Workflow: Users and Authors ● Case 2: Submitter is Member – Submitter: Alec Smecher – Author: Editorial Board Institutional vs. Individual
- 8. Online Workflow: Users and Authors ● Case 3: Submitter is Agent – Submitter: Alec Smecher – Author: Deceased Greek Workflow and publishing have distinct needs when it comes to identifying people.
- 9. Our Approach: Complete Separation
- 10. To Review... ● Each OJS installation lives on its own planet ● User accounts are not linked to author records ● Author records are not disambiguated ...so... How do we build an author index? How do we build an author brag page?

- 15. ORCIDs in User Accounts... ...feed Author records... ...facilitating flexible Author/User linkages... ...we know Alec Smecher (SFU) is Alec Smecher (UBC). ...we know that Alec Smecher is not Deceased Greek. ...link my “planet” with the rest of the universe ...permitting ORCID to handle brag pages... ...no more separate empires. ...feeding ORCID with new published content.
