• Researchers can register and use ORCID for free of charge, regardless of whether or not their employer is an ORCID member

• ORCID is an opt-in system. The researcher controls their record: registration, linked information, privacy and access settings

• An ORCID iD and associated information stays with an individual throughout their career irrespective of affiliation

orcid.org

ORCID is Opt-in

38

ORCID is Open

• Free, non-proprietary, platform-neutral registry of persistent unique public identifiers for researchers

• Community-based, independent non-profit organization supported by institutional membership

• Open data, software, APIs, and documentation

Privacy Policy“Researcher privacy is important to ORCID, and we believe that following research community-sanctioned privacy practices is essential to the success of ORCID and the Registry it operates. ”

Authentication?

orcid.org 41

Use an authenticated API to collect iD (username & password) to ensure the person and the iD belong together, the iD is correct (no typos), and that privacy is respected.

Researcher Responsibility

orcid.org 42

To benefit, researchers need only do 2 things ① Register for an

iD② Use it!

Our Responsibility

orcid.org 43

Respect the individual. It’s their choice to participate.
