[Open-access] [LIS-Forum] ORCiD and Libraries

Sat Jul 11 07:51:21 UTC 2015

It is correct to say that any individual researcher can create an ORCID for them and use that for their publications. Many publishers started asking this, and it works as unique identifier irrespective of publisher and databases. But if an institution want to use it to integrate with their repository, research management systems etc, institution need become a member (fees is higher and pay even more if ORCID integration is required for more than one system). This needs to be debated and ORCID should bring down the membership fee according to income of the country, so that developing nations can also take part of this "avoiding name ambiguity initiative". 
We have membership and integrated ORCID with our repository and under process for the research management system (PURE), one recent work is under review with f1000, and you can read it from here.

 Thanks very much.

Dr Krichel points out that ORCiD is not OA. The purpose of ORCiD is for
each publication to be attributed to its right authors and not to someone
else with a similar sounding name.

In China there are tens of thousands of authors whose names as rendered in
English will be spelt as W A N G. Some of them may be physicists, others
molecular biologists and some others economists. Same is the case with
people with the name P A R K in Kore and S I N G H in India. ORCiD ensures
each paper is associated with the right author. Is that not a very useful
service?  Also, each author will have all his papers - and only his papers
- assigned to him.

Dr Manjunath refers to the research management tools and asserts that ORCiD
and VIVO put together is still incomplete. I do not get the point. But I
just saw this article in Wikipedia: <
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_research_networking_tools_and_research_profiling_systems
>.
May be Dr Manjunath will find his answer there. ORCiD encompasses
Researcher ID and Scopus author ID in the sense all one needs to use is
ORCiD and it will automatically bring in data from the other two if the
individual instructs it to do so.

Best wishes.
