ORCID
Currently
As a researcher, one often has an identifier in many systems. For example ResearchID (Web of Science), ScopusID, LiU ID (plus previous employment locations), funding agencies…
Information is entered repeatedly for each system
“A. Svensson” is not unique and so for those looking to find about your work (e.g. funders, employers, reviewers…) it can be hard if not impossible
Authors aren’t consistent with their own names:
D. Lawrence, A.D. Lawrence…
2
The solution: ORCID Open Researcher and Contributor ID (
http://orcid.org/)
Run by a non-profit organization backed by, e.g., MIT, Harvard, Nature, Blackwell-Wiley, Wellcome Trust…
Concept is to create a single ID for researchers where all aspects of their career can be coupled
Publications
Funding applications
Local activity
Saves challenges with using personnummer
You control how much of your info at ORCID is public

ORCID Went live, October 2012
Currently more than 1.2 million researchers with ID
VR and other Swedish funding agencies have a new application portal which will make use of ORCID (mandatory)
DiVA SwePub VR
Many journals allow you to include ORCID when submitting articles
ORCID is set to become the de-facto standard for identification in the research world

To get an ORCID (minimum, takes 30 s)
Go to http://orcid.org/
Click on “Register now” (direct link: https://orcid.org/register)
Fill in your name, email address etc.
Send your ORCID (a 16-digit number, often presented as a link: e.g. http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3993-9985 (it is the number that is your ORCID)) to [email protected]. We will then see that your ORCID is added to all your DiVA posts. If/when LiU centrally starts collecting ORCID, we will send our
collection
Start using your ORCID when submitting articles to journals and in grant applications.

ORCID: advisable
Fill in the biography section with a little about yourself
Provide links to your research webpages
6
ORCID: if you want
Import publications from Scopus, Web of Science (ResearcherID), European PMC (in theory we could import publications from DiVA to ORCID, but that requires LiU to enter a membership plan with ORCID; at present that is not an option)
