What is the problem? The research community has lacked the ability to link researchers and scholars with their professional activities. Discoverability within and across databases Acknowledgement and citation of contributions Author, grantee, and faculty record management Research reporting and impact assessment 12 November 2013 orcid.org 2

Who is who? Theme Another illustrative example: Wei Wang Estimates by China's Ministry of Public Security suggest that more than 1.1 billion people around 85% of China's population share just 129 surnames. Problems with abbreviations, ordering of given names and surnames and inconsistent journal practices heighten the confusion. http://www.nature.com/news/ 2008/080213/full/451766a.html 12 November 2013 orcid.org 5
Identifiers for Researchers Solving this problem requires: v unique and persistent identifier that can be used throughout one s career, across professional activities, affiliations, and languages v identifiers that are integrated in standard workflows, embedded in works metadata, independent of platform, and can be linked with other IDs 12 November 2013 orcid.org 6
ORCID v ORCID provides a non-proprietary registry of persistent unique identifiers for researchers, and open APIs for the community v ORCID is an independent non-profit organization supported by member fees v Data marked public by researchers is published annually by ORCID under a CC0 waiver v ORCID code is available on the GitHub open source repository and we support community efforts to develop tools and services 12 November 2013 orcid.org 7
