Currently As a researcher, one often has an identifier in many systems. For example ResearchID (Web of Science), ScopusID, LiU ID (plus previous employment locations), funding agencies… Information is entered repeatedly for each system “A. Svensson” is not unique and so for those looking to find about your work (e.g. funders, employers, reviewers…) it can be hard if not impossible Authors aren’t consistent with their own names: • D. Lawrence, A.D. Lawrence…
The solution: ORCID Open Researcher and Contributor ID (http://orcid.org/) Run by a non-profit organization backed by, e.g., MIT, Harvard, Nature, Blackwell-Wiley, Wellcome Trust… Concept is to create a single ID for researchers where all aspects of their career can be coupled • Publications • Funding applications • Local activity Saves challenges with using personnummer You control how much of your info at ORCID is public
ORCID Went live, October 2012 Currently more than 1.2 million researchers with ID VR and other Swedish funding agencies have a new application portal which will make use of ORCID (mandatory) • DiVA SwePub VR Many journals allow you to include ORCID when submitting articles ORCID is set to become the de-facto standard for identification in the research world
To get an ORCID (minimum, takes 30 s) Go to http://orcid.org/ Click on “Register now” (direct link: https://orcid.org/register) Fill in your name, email address etc. Send your ORCID (a 16-digit number, often presented as a link: e.g. http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3993-9985 (it is the number that is your ORCID)) to ep@ep.liu.se. We will then see that your ORCID is added to all your DiVA posts. • If/when LiU centrally starts collecting ORCID, we will send our collection Start using your ORCID when submitting articles to journals and in grant applications.
ORCID: advisable Fill in the biography section with a little about yourself Provide links to your research webpages
ORCID: if you want Import publications from Scopus, Web of Science (ResearcherID), European PMC (in theory we could import publications from DiVA to ORCID, but that requires LiU to enter a membership plan with ORCID; at present that is not an option)
Updates and reminders VR’s (Forte, RJ, FORMAS… ), EU’s rules on open access: • All journal and conference articles must be freely available within 6 months, (12 months for HSS) of publishing date • Follow-up: non-OA material not allowed in project reporting • Chapters and books coming • Data coming Don’t forget Parallel publishing Be very careful when choosing journals: predatory publishers are on the rise (contact us: david.lawrence@liu.se)
Updates, cont’d New national research funding allocation model coming Proposal for national guidlines on OA: • By 2025: publically funded articles, chapters, books, research data must be OA with a CC-by license.
