FAQ: General

We don’t have systems that support ORCID or resource to implement them and are not sure if membership is right for us at this stage. How do we support ORCID at our institution?

Our ‘Thinking about ORCID….’ guide suggests alternatives to immediate systems implementation of ORCID.

See also Imperial College’s Guide to implementing ORCID at a University.

Where else can people use their ORCID IDs?

Lots of places: On business cards, letter heads, email signatures, (don’t forget to update your corporate standards for all of these!), personal web pages, LinkedIn profiles, and on Wikipedia.

How can ORCID IDs be used on Wikipedia?

Here’s how: You probably have colleagues who are the subject of Wikipedia articles, and certainly some who edit Wikipedia. Their ORCID IDs can be included on the articles about them, or on their user pages. See the Wikipedia guidance for how to do this.

How is ORCID meeting GDPR requirements?

The changes made by ORCID in response to GDPR are outlined in their knowledge base article and address user control and individual rights.

How does ORCID address data security?

ORCID provides an entry in their knowledge base on ORCID’s data security processes.
