FAQ: Technical
Once I place my order what are the next steps?
Before production credentials can be sent institutions will need to Register a client application: Production Member API – Trusted Party with the required information. Before production credentials are issued, Institutions will be asked to provide a demo of their integration. Items the ORCID team will be looking for in the demo are described at Member credential check list. ORCID will process the request right away. Note: This process is not fully automated – there may be a delay before ORCID respond to you with credentials or a demo request after you complete this form. The work-flow is described below.
At any point during the following process, Institutions building their own integration start work on the ORCID sandbox (see registering for sandbox credentials).
- Institution places order via the Jisc Collections’ catalogue pages .
- Institution provides additional confirmation of ORCID’s use of their name and logos as outlined on the following BOS survey link.
- Institutions who have built their own integration with ORCID set up a demo with ORCID team. It should be noted that additional contingency time should be allowed in the case of adjustments or bug fixes being required. NB this step can be skipped for institutions using a vendor provided system.
- Institutions apply for production credentials from ORCID.
- ORCID returns production credentials to be used in the Institution’s integration.
- Institution advises ORCID when they officially launch the integration. ORCID can assist with publicity if required.
