2. As persistent identifiers for contributors to the
research process, ORCID forms the basis of
precise and durable mechanisms of credit.
Additional benefits – ORCID has the potential to:
ü Disambiguate databases of users
ü Simplify manuscript submission - author service
ü Improve discoverability and search
ü Connect authors to related contributions elsewhere, inter-
operating with an ecosystem of identifiers
ü Extend credit from authors to reviewers and editors

• Display of ORCID iDs in published articles
• Syndicate ORCID iDs as part of metadata of the article
to indexers
• Auto-update author ORCID profile via CrossRef
• Synergize with standard for contributions

9. ORCID collection: use ORCID API
• In manuscript tracking system – upon submission
or registration

11. Auto-update
With ORCID integration,
Authors and their
administrators no longer
need to keep profiles
updated manually

12. CRediT – Contributor Roles Taxonomy
A simple taxonomy of research
contributions developed under
the auspices of CASRAI and
NISO.
- Includes but not limited to
traditional authorship roles
- Makes contributions
machine-readable and
portable
