Hi all,
I am pleased to share an update about the ORCID improvements in DSpace that have been contributed by 4Science, thanks to grant funding that Lyrasis received from the ORCID Global Participation Fund. All of the development work has been completed on the issues that were identified for this project (see details below). Many thanks to ORCID, 4Science, and the individuals who voluntarily reviewed the pull requests.
Work is currently underway to update the DSpace wiki documentation to reflect these improvements, and we will be planning to schedule a webinar about these improvements and additional considerations related to ORCID in DSpace soon. I am also working on some additional documentation that summarizes the different options for using ORCID with DSpace, which I hope to have ready to share soon. In the meantime, let me know if you have any questions.
ORCID improvements that are now available:
1. The following bug fixes have been merged/back-ported to DSpace 7.x and 8.x:
2. For those who have users that log in to DSpace, code is now available for 7.x and 8.x (and will be included in DSpace 9) to allow those users to log in using ORCID, even if their ORCID email address is set to private (see issue described here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/9087) – this code was not merged/back-ported to 7.x and 8.x since it is more significant than just a bug fix, but if you’d like to implement this fix in your local instance, code can be found here:
3. For DSpace 9, all of the above fixes have been merged and will be ready to use in DSpace 9.
4. Code is also available for including patent and product work types in the ORCID/DSpace data exchange, however, since these are new work types that have not been discussed or prioritized yet in the DSpace community, these will not be merged. However, if you’d like to implement patent and product work types with ORCID in your local repository, code can be found here (and also please leave a comment in the Github tickets if you have a perspective to share):
ORCID improvements that are now available:
1. The following bug fixes have been merged/back-ported to DSpace 7.x and 8.x:
- ORCID integration bugs on the ORCID Authorizations page have been fixed: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8925
- Author ORCID iDs that are associated with Person Entities are now displayed on work landing pages next to author names out of the box (and noted as either authenticated or unauthenticated): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/9086
- Issues related to versioning of works written to ORCID have been fixed: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8662
- When a user selects “Disconnect ORCID” in their DSpace profile, this now revokes their ORCID access token according to ORCID’s best practices: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/9088
