[Orcid-us] Is the list of ORCID-enabled systems ... too narrowly defined?

[Sheila Rabun]

Hi Stefan and all –

The answer to your question is basically just that ORCID has not updated their webpage to reflect the latest vendor integration from Activity Insight/Digital Measures. The integration does meet ORCID requirements, so it should be listed. You are correct that this could lead to people potentially overlooking Digital Measures as an ORCID-integrated CRIS option. I will alert the staff at ORCID and see if they can update the page. I am also working on creating some documentation like this for the orcid-us.org website, so we will hopefully have that soon as well – I will keep you posted.

Thanks!
Sheila

Hi everyone,

During the Q&A portion of the webinar Introducing ORCID for Research Administrators on Tuesday, I heard that the platform Activity Insight (which we use) can import publications metadata from ORCID profiles<https://www.digitalmeasures.com/activity-insight/docs/orcid.html>  – which led me to wonder why it’s not listed among the ORCID-ENABLED SYSTEMS<https://members.orcid.org/api/orcid-enabled-systems>. Is it because it is one of the “third-party systems which support ORCID iDs in their workflows, but do not meet our requirements to provide support for an organization to supply and use their own API credentials, and/or do not collect validated ORCID iDs”?  It is listed<https://orcid.org/members/001G0000022spLDIAY-digital-measures> among the member-integrators.

This isn’t so much a question about this particular product but that differentiation in listing … it made me wonder whether the differentiation is helpful and doesn’t actually cause universities etc. to overlook potentially useful ORCID utilizations.

Best,

Stefan
