independent of platform
•  Improved system interoperability – across
discipline, organization, and country
•  Reduced reporting workload for researchers
•  Automates repository deposition
•  Supports institutional reporting
7
For researchers & scholars
•  Free & fast for
researchers
•  16-digit number
expressed as HTTP
URI
•  Compatible with ISO
standard
•  Record holder
controls privacy

Interoperability with ISNI
•  Joint statement on interoperation
•  3-part technical implementation plan
•  link ISNIs with ORCID records (Q4)
•  create tools to harvest document metadata from
relevant databases
•  implement authenticated search and linkage of
ORCID iDs with ISNI records, and test the
feasibility of allowing review and validation of ISNI
records.

What can organizations do with ORCID?
ORCID APIs support system-to-system
communication and authentication. Through these,
organizations can:
•  Get a user’s ORCID iD
•  Get data from an ORCID record
•  Let a user import from your system to their ORCID
record
•  Enable the user to display on their ORCID record a link
to themself on your system
•  Create ORCID iDs for employees and associates

Adoption & Integration Program
•  Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to promote

development of use cases and integrations at North
American research universities/institutes and
professional societies
•  Nine program partners, receiving grants of up to
$20,000,
•  Grantees will demonstrate prototypes at May 21,
2014 Outreach Meeting (Chicago)
•  Code and resources shared, to support broad
adoption & integration

Publication process
“Nature journals authors can link
their ORCID to their account in our
manuscript submission and tracking
system, and we[are now] publishing
authors’ ORCIDs in papers.”

ORCID iDs are being received
by CrossRef and PubMed
