ORCID’s Mission
ORCID’s mission is to enable transparent and
trustworthy connections between researchers, their
contributions, and their affiliations by providing a
unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use as
they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation
activities.
What is ORCID?
Open: we provide open (non
proprietary) tools and support open
(transparent) research
Researcher: across disciplines,
organizations, career stages, countries
Contributor: all those who participate
in research scholarship and innovation
IDentifier: a unique 16 digit identifier
human and machine readable
Why ORCID?
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26799652/ https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/abac0d
What does ORCID provide?
● Persistent identifiers (PIDs) for researchers
connected to a record of (affiliations, works,
funding, and more) metadata
● A Registry /Hub of these (and other!) iDs
● APIs (member and non member) to allow
exchange of information between systems
● A global community effort to build/share
connections and tools
A PID-powered vision
PIDs support Open Research
The O in ORCID
● Community-driven, governed and sustained
● Participation open to all
● Open APIs (members and non members)
● Open metadata
● ORCID Public Data file - released annually under a CC0
waiver

● 13,544,504 affiliations
● 5,332,547 peer Review
● 1,140,662 funding
● 2,512 research resources

Challenges
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4772627
● Participation and community
adoption (integration) beyond
high income countries
● Diversity of research outputs
● Amount of data in the Registry
Indigenous Knowledge

Data, information and knowledge, in any format, that impacts Indigenous Peoples,
nations, and communities at the collective and individual level
Current challenges around Indigenous Knowledge
Source: https://doi.org/10.23640/07243.12456305.v1
● Indigenous collections and data can be hard
to find
● Can be buried in a larger collection, datasets,
or repositories
● Can be mislabeled, not properly attributed,
not searchable
● Indigenous collections are not FAIR
(Findable, Accessible, Interoperable,
Reusable)
Indigenous Knowledge and PIDs
ORCID work types https://info.orcid.org/documentation/integration-and-api-faq/#easy-faq-2682
DataCite resource types https://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.1/include/datacite-resourceType-v4.1.xsd
● PIDs can help enable
recognition for “non
traditional” outputs
● Metadata can be part of the
solution
● Community governed
standards are needed for wide
implementation and adoption
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5558-1485
Collaboration across countries
● ORCID can help track collaborations
beyond organizations and countries
● ORCID can be used to identify potential
collaborators
● Organization identifiers are key
● ROR offers open tools and is a
community driven initiative
● More recognition, more collaboration

Final thoughts
● The road to open is never complete and PIDs can help
● Open metadata matters
● It takes a village!
