I saw recently that (a subset of?) OhioLINK schools had begun assign ORCIDs* to authors of ETDs.  I'm curious about who else is doing this.  I'm also curious about how you're exposing the ORCID in your metadata.

* - orcid.org for info.

Hi Thomas

 

In the UK, many institutions are encouraging their research students to get Orcids. See the Jisc ARMA Orcid Pilot for some case studies. http://orcidpilot.jiscinvolve.org/wp/ . Imperial College is one such, so the Orcids should be coming through in the thesis metadata in a few years’ time if not earlier. https://wwwf.imperial.ac.uk/blog/openaccess/orcid-at-imperial-college/

 

The Orcid blog had a post on the topic recently http://orcid.org/blog/2014/03/20/theses-dissertations-orcid

 

And we have a still-project-status Orcid importer tool for EThOS - http://ethos-orcid.appspot.com/ - which allows researchers to add their EThOS thesis record to their Orcid profile. Here’s an example - http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5417-1655

 

Best wishes

Sara

Hi Thomas,

 

Since September of last year we have been requiring that ORCIDs be added for the student authors of theses and dissertations in our repository (sample: http://repository.kaust.edu.sa/kaust/handle/10754/550888 ). The ORCIDs can also be found in our OAI-PMH output (sample: http://repository.kaust.edu.sa/kaust/oai/request?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=xoai&identifier=oai:repository.kaust.edu.sa:10754/550888 ), albeit probably not in the best way. Since setting up our connection with the ORCID member API in January we are also adding the thesis information to the author's ORCID profile when they give us permissions to do so (sample: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3593-6522 ).

 

Regards,

Daryl

Hello Thomas,

OhioLINK installed a link to the ORCID registration earlier this year.  Miami University (Ohio) now requires that all authors of ETD's apply for and link their ORCID number to their OhioLINK submission.  


Best regards,

Dear Thomas, 

Two things:

1. The Texas Digital Library ETD Metadata Group* is currently working to update the Descriptive Metadata Guidelines for ETDs (2008), with a particular focus on integrating metadata updates into Vireo, in cooperation with the Vireo User Group. We are planning to release a draft of our guidelines in Fall 2015 and will include recommendations for including ORCIDs in ETD metadata. 

2. Texas A&M is currently storing ORCIDs in a local.etdauthor.orcid field in our DSpace instance (sample: http://oaktrust.library.tamu.edu/handle/1969.1/154229?show=full).

All my best

Sarah Potvin, Digital Scholarship Librarian, Texas A&M University Libraries
