We sometimes find in papers that the author’s name is enclosed in parentheses, and ORCID is written in the parentheses. So what is this?
ORCID(Open Researcher and Contributor ID), this is a non-profit organization. It created unique identifiers (called ORCID iDs) whose mission is to improve by allowing researchers to associate with all their research activities, including publications, data sets, affiliation with research institutions, and financial support. Information Flow. ORCID is a non-profit organization, and individuals can register for free. For example, ORCID iDs can be added to the author's name in a journal article, so HG Lee will not be mistaken for H. Lee. The registrant can control all shared information and make changes and updates at any time.
The current number of ORCIDregistrations has exceeded 3,000,000, and more than 600 academic libraries, research institutions, funding agencies, and publishers currently use these IDs to track data. ORCID numbers can be easily linked to other researcher IDs, such as Scopus and Researcher IDs. You no longer need to spend precious time trying to mine your computer to obtain information about your last three successful grant applications. In addition, you don't have to worry about whether the files you wrote before changing your name (due to marriage or other reasons) are lost in cyberspace.
So what are IDthe specific benefits of having this ?
It is easier to distinguish your work from other researchers, your work is recognized, and it is not easy to be confused with the work of other people with the same name. (E.g. John Smith, Mary Smith)
ORCIDIt is helpful to track its research results at the level of universities, departments and colleges.
Funders have embedded a ORCIDlogo in their funding submission system . Government organizations such as NIH, OSTI and CERN are supporting this work.
Before ORCIDdevelopment, measures have not been widely taken to solve the problems of researcher ID and disambiguation. ORCID’s supporters include all major technology publishers, including Elsevier, Wiley, Nature, Thomsen Reuters, etc.
Most publishers (including those listed above) now require all researchers related to their publications to use ORCID iD. The Royal Society announced that from January 1, 2016, it will require all corresponding authors to submit papers to its journals to provide ORCID iD. Seven other publishers, including American Geophysical Union (AGU), eLife, EMBO, Hindawi, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), PLOS, and Science, have also pledged to require ORCID iD in their publishing process in 2016. The publisher believes that if ORCID iD can be adopted by researchers and organizations as much as possible, it will generally be of great benefit to researchers and the dissemination of science.
The ORCID organization has had a good start and is growing. However, there are still many researchers who have not yet registered. They also hope that as many publishers as possible can join.
