“…This lack of knowledge varies across disciplines and scholarly occupations (Macgregor et al, 2023). In this line, the importance of developing and implementing projects by research institutions, along with promotional campaigns, has been identified as crucial tools for successful ORCID adoption and use within the research community (Aghassibake et al, 2023;Pampel et al, 2024).…”

In the evolving landscape of scientific research, ORCID identifiers are essential for maintaining academic integrity and enhancing research visibility. This study proposes a methodological framework for identifying and analyzing the presence and characteristics of researchers in a specific country in ORCID, using complementary data from OpenAlex to improve results. Our objectives were to develop a reliable method to identify ORCID records of researchers in Spain, study the frequency of profile updates, and investigate the most frequently filled metadata sections and common profile characteristics across disciplines. We identified 190,455 ORCID records of Spanish researchers and found high engagement with some metadata, particularly in the 'Employment' (73%) and 'Publications' (83%) sections. Additionally, 73% of records were actively maintained. The most common metadata combination included 'Works', 'Employment', and 'Education and Qualifications'. However, we noted significant variability and incomplete records across disciplines. The study highlights the need for more complete and frequently updated profiles, improved institutional integration, and strategic efforts to enhance ORCID adoption. These improvements could enhance the reliability of ORCID for tracking researcher mobility and academic trajectories.

This paper studies awareness and use of author identifier services (AIDs) in the French academic community and explores needs and forms of support required for these tools, using a national questionnaire survey. ArXivID, IdHAL, ORCID, ResearcherID and Scopus Author ID were investigated. A total of 6125 people completed the questionnaire in full. The results of this survey show that discipline and age play an important role in French researchers' familiarity with AIDs. IdHAL and ORCID were by far the two best known AIDs, probably because they have been promoted by institutions in France for several years. French researchers use AIDs mainly to respond to external requests (e.g., to submit an article or a research project), while, surprisingly, few use them to ‘facilitate their work’. When French researchers were asked about their needs and the form of support required for AIDs, more than 30% of them said they either required an introduction to or practical training in these tools. The results of this national survey should help stakeholders to adapt their policies and to guide and support researchers more efficiently in the use of these tools.

Zusammenfassung Mit dem ORCID-Standard wurde ein System der persistenten Identifikatoren für Forschende geschaffen. Der Förderung von ORCID in Deutschland widmete sich von 2016 bis 2022 das von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderte Projekt ORCID DE. Dank des Projekts konnte die Anzahl der in Deutschland registrierten ORCID iDs von etwa 44 000 im Jahr 2016 auf 356 800 im Jahr 2024 gesteigert werden. Die Schaffung einer Dialogplattform und der Aufbau eines nationalen Konsortiums sind weitere Erfolge von ORCID DE. Auch wurde die Integration von ORCID in zentrale Standards der Informationsinfrastruktur vorangetrieben und die Vernetzung mit der Gemeinsamen Normdatei (GND) durch verschiedene Verfahren der Vernetzung befördert. Mit der Integration von ORCID in die Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE) wurde die Sichtbarkeit von ORCID in Open-Access-Publikationen gesteigert. Durch den Aufbau des ORCID-DE-Monitors wurde ein Informationssystem zur Verbreitung von ORCID auf internationaler Ebene geschaffen. Der Beitrag beschreibt die Arbeit und Ergebnisse des Projekts und dokumentiert anhand der formulierten ACTION-Prinzipien Anregungen für ähnliche Standardisierungsinitiativen im Bereich der digitalen Informationsinfrastruktur.
