capturing ORCID IDs, researcher IDs. Do you use metadata to do this?

[Berry, Irene (CIV)]

Hello all,

We've been talking about capturing Researcher ID information, such as ORCID Identifiers in our metadata.  We use DSpace 5.1 currently.

We would like to start including this kind of information in records, but I have a couple of questions for this group:

Do you capture Researcher ID information / name disambiguation info about authors using metadata in DSpace?

If so, how do you keep the IDs author names tied together in the records and separate from multiple author names?

What about interoperability?

This has come up since reading the message below, from another listserv (pardon the crossposting).  

thank you,

Publishers to Require ORCID Identifiers for Authors

 

A group of seven publishers today announced that, during 2016, they will begin requiring authors to use an ORCID identifier (iD) during the publication process.The American Geophysical Union (AGU), eLife, EMBO, Hindawi, the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Public Library of Science (PLOS) will join theRoyal Society – which already (as of January 1, 2016) requires its authors to include iDs at submission – in making this commitment.

 

ORCID iDs are persistent identifiers for people. Using an ORCID iD ensures that researchers can be easily and correctly connected with their research activities, outputs, and affiliations. Over 200 research platforms and workflow systems collect and connect iDs from

researchers: grant application and publishing systems, association management systems, and university CRIS and other research information systems.

 

Over 1.8 million researchers globally have registered for an iD, understanding the value a digital name provides in enhancing discoverability and reducing their reporting paperwork.  Some funders have started to require ORCID iDs as part of the grant proposal process, and in a recent survey researchers indicated strong support for similar requirements by publishers.

 

According to Mark Patterson, Executive Director of eLife, one of the three original organizations behind this initiative: “There is a pressing need to improve the way researchers are evaluated. ORCID helps by providing a unique ID for an individual which makes it easier for researchers to gain recognition for all of their research contributions. eLife is very happy to be part of this initiative aimed at encouraging broader adoption of ORCID.”

 

Veronique Kiermer, Executive Editor of PLOS, another of the original organizations, adds: “PLOS is committed to providing due credit to all researchers who contribute to the work we publish and we see ORCID as an essential means to achieve this.”

 

While Stuart Taylor, Publishing Director at the Royal Society - the third organization - says:

 

“We recognize the great potential value of ORCID to the research system. We believe that publishers have a key role in promoting systems that provide support to researchers and to science.”

 

Laure Haak, Executive Director of ORCID, also welcomes this

initiative: “This action by publishers will help improve discoverability - and ultimately recognition - for researchers, and also means that publishers will use best practice for implementing

ORCID: a win for everyone.”

 

ABOUT ORCID:

 

ORCID (http://orcid.org) is a community-driven non-profit organization that aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in research and scholarly communications.  ORCID maintains a central registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers and provides open and transparent processes for connecting ORCID iDs with persistent identifiers for people, organizations, and research activities and outputs.  Connecting these identifiers can improve the research and scholarly discovery process, reduce reporting burdens, increase the efficiency of research funding, and support sharing and collaboration within the research community.  For more information contact Laurel Haak, ORCID Executive Director, at l.h...@orcid.org.

Dear Irene,
in dspace 5 there is a limited support for ORCID that allow you to search the registry during the submission of an item so to make more accurate the description of item's authors
see https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/ORCID+Integration

To achieve more complete use cases allowing the management of dedicated record for authors, projects, organization units and any other entity related to the research domain (as Journals, Laboratories or Instrumentation used to produce research data, etc.) we have developed the DSpace-CRIS extension:
http://cineca.github.io/dspace-cris

DSpace-CRIS starts in 2009 as a collaboration between Cineca and The Hong Kong University becoming open source in 2013.
Among many other unique features, as support for name disambiguation, store additional information and identifiers for authors, DSpace-CRIS raises the ORCID integration to a higher level allowing
- to login with the ORCID credentials
- to send researcher information (biography, affiliation, email, name, variants, etc.), publications and projects to the researcher ORCID profile
- automatic creation of a researcher profile for authors retrieved during the item submission process

A new release of DSpace-CRIS, based on DSpace 5.4, including a major revision of the technical documentation and the project website will occur this month. In the meantime you can checkout some recent presentation on DSpace-CRIS here:

Hello Andrea,

We are looking forward to the new release of DSpace-CRIS, based on DSpace 5.4, this month.

Thanks,
Massoud.
