DESCRIPTION

Funding agencies, universities, and research institutes all face challenges of reliably identifying their researchers and monitoring outcomes over time. All researchers—and especially early career researchers seeking to establish their careers—need to be reliably connected to their research outputs, without the confusion common, changeable names creates. Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers supported by grants also have specific challenges: if they are not the PI, they are not included in grant information; they may not even know which grant(s) they are supported by; and as a result, the existing challenges of reliably tying publications to grant funding are even more problematic. The use of the unique, persistent ORCID identifier can help support outcomes tracking and evaluation. In 2012, the U.S. National Institutes of Health Biomedical Research Workforce Working Group made recommendations that the NIH should take to support a sustainable biomedical research workforce in the U.S. In the course of its study, working group members were “frustrated and sometimes stymied” by the lack of quality, comprehensive data about biomedical researchers. In response, NIH has recommended the development of a simple, comprehensive tracking system for trainees, implemented a shared, voluntary researcher profile system called the Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv), and encouraged the adoption of unique, persistent ORCID identifiers for researchers. Additionally, NIH has begun collecting data about individuals in graduate and undergraduate student project roles who are supported by NIH grants. Research universities like Texas A&M are also responding by incorporating the ORCID identifier into their systems, enabling the improved identification, data collection, and career outcome tracking of students and postdoctoral researchers--and educating these early career researchers about the benefits they will receive from a unique, persistent research identifier. They are also beginning to link Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) to early career researchers' ORCID records. ORCID is an independent, non-profit organization that provides an open registry of unique and persistent identifiers for researchers and scholars. ORCID collaborates with the community to integrate ORCID identifiers into research systems and workflows, improving data management and accuracy across systems. ORCID enables interoperability between research systems worldwide, ensuring that researchers are correctly and automatically linked to their contributions. Since its launch in October 2012, ORCID has seen rapid adoption by more than 670,000 researchers and 130+ member organizations.

“AGU is implementing ORCIDs in our member records, editorial databases, and papers. Having the ability to uniquely identify scientists helps the society, editors, authors, and members in many ways, from improving efficiency to providing services and support.”Brooks Hanson, Dir Publications, American Geophysical Union 

“We want to use ORCIDs to simplify the life of Oxford’s researchers for working with institutional systems and publishers’ systems by re-using already available information for publication data management and reporting. The motto is: Input once – re-use often.”

Wolfram Horstmann, Assoc. Director, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford

“Greater precision and transparency of the research outputs linked to a particular funder or grant is vital to help us better understand the impact of our funding.” Liz Allen, Head of Evaluation, Wellcome Trust

“Not only does the ORCID system enable improved publishing processes, but publishers’ participation also enables improved processes for partners such as funding agencies and universities.”Craig Van Dyck, VP, Global Content Management, Wiley

Challenges and benefits of using ORCID for early career researchers and

research organizations Melanie Sinche

Harvard Universityhttp://orcid.org/0000-0001-5238-9642

Page 23: Identification of Early Career Researchers: How Universities and Funding Organizations are Using ORCID

Case Study: Harvard University

• Decentralized campus

• 10 separate schools

• Tracking systems for postdocs vary across schools Several different systems used to track postdocs

Individual departments also maintain their own tracking systems

CHALLENGE: How can we identify our postdocs in an efficient

way?

Page 24: Identification of Early Career Researchers: How Universities and Funding Organizations are Using ORCID

• Various funding sources

• Over 1,000 postdocs are not on payroll, due to types of funders, funder requirements

CHALLENGE: How can we use tracking systems to ensure

equity, regardless of funding source?

Case Study: Harvard University

Page 25: Identification of Early Career Researchers: How Universities and Funding Organizations are Using ORCID

• Postdoc outcomes difficult to track

• NSF: Early Career Doctorates Survey

• Need for exit data on the local level remains

• Graduate student outcomes also difficult to

track

• Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED)

• Local exit surveys

CHALLENGE: How can we capture data on outgoing graduate

students and postdocs effectively?

Case Study: Harvard University

Page 26: Identification of Early Career Researchers: How Universities and Funding Organizations are Using ORCID

How can ORCID help with outcomes tracking?

A persistent identifier benefits researchers & organizations

• The ORCID identifier stays with researchers throughout their career

• Connects them reliably with their research outputs

• Improves discoverability of their research

• Improves information sharing—offering us all better data in the future

ORCID Public Data

“All data contributed to ORCID by researchers or claimed by them will be available in standard formats for free download (subject to he researchers’ own privacy settings) that is uploaded once a year and released under a CC0 waiver.”

Goals of Campus ORCID Integration for early career scholars & professionals

• Establish scholarly identity at start of career• Position new scholars for ready success with

publishers, funding agencies, and other research support systems requiring ORCIDs

• Develop scalable and trusted infrastructure for tracking student outcomes over time

• Build greater publishing capacity for Libraries and University

Page 30: Identification of Early Career Researchers: How Universities and Funding Organizations are Using ORCID

Plan for Integration or ORCIDs• Clear policy hurdles with university administration• Join ORCID for access to API and Tech support• Mint ORCIDs for 10,000+ graduate students• Conduct outreach and training to support new and

existing ORCID owners• Integrate ORCIDs into key information systems, incl. Vireo

ETD submission and management system• Develop ORCID app for sustainable management of

ORCIDs over time• Expand program to cover faculty and research staff

Mobilizing a Community!

Page 32: Identification of Early Career Researchers: How Universities and Funding Organizations are Using ORCID

Progress To Date

• 10,334 ORCIDs minted for graduate students• 2138 claimed in first 9 days• Unclaimed ORCIDs due to variety of reasons:

– Email not working (120)– Email not checked despite university requirement (lots)– Email checked but instructions not followed (some)

• Students who claim almost universally pleased to have an ORCID

• One student objected to our minting the ORCID

Page 33: Identification of Early Career Researchers: How Universities and Funding Organizations are Using ORCID

Lessons Learned So Far

• Technical approach needed to success at scale ORCID minting system

• High-touch system equally essential to jump seams with technology, engage users and attain buy in

• High Tech High Touch

Evidence of ImpactI was in attendance last night at the Graduate Student Council meeting. Thank you for your presentation in regards to ORCID. I am hoping to attend one of your workshops to register for ORCID. Please let me know when they workshops are scheduled. Thank you, Doctoral Student, Ag Economics

These services are good tools to make us more scientifically visible. Thanks and I really appreciate your hard work,

Doctoral Student, Construction Engineering

We currently have 47 people registered for this Wednesday’s ORCID workshop. Please let me know if there is anything else we can help you with in preparation for the workshop. Graduate Assistant / Event AssistantOffice of Graduate and Professional Studies

By the way, I've been mentioning ORCID in scientific-writing classes and workshops for a while. And a few months ago, as part of my work with the AuthorAID project, I featured ORCID as a Resource of the Week (http://www.authoraid.info/en/news/details/35/).
