WHY PERSISTENT IDs?Challenges for the individual:
- Multiple profile systems- Manual data entry- Administrative burden- No control of personal
data- Name ambiguity- Recognition/credit
Challenges for the institution:
- Name ambiguity- Trust in metadata- Reporting latency- Silo systems- Return on investment- Discoverability
• Uniquely identifying an individual with an identifier
• Tracking professional activities of fellows real time
• Accurately linking awards to research outputs
• Career tracking individuals
IMAGINE
ENGAGING RESEARCHERS
“Researchers want to be read, acknowledged, and quoted.”
“Researchers want to spend their time on research, not reporting”
The research community has lacked the ability to link researchers and scholars with their professional
activities.• Name variations:
• Matthew J Buys, MJ Buys, M Buys, Matthew John Buys, ، بایز ماثیو
• Institutional variations:• ORCID, ORCID Incorporated, ORCID Inc, ORCID EMEA
WHY IS THERE A PROBLEM?
CAN NAMES BE CLEANED UP?Of course they can!
We need to use digital names:
persistent identifiers that uniquely specify the person, organization, or
object to which a name refers
