ORCID IntegrationORCID Integration

An ORCID ID is a persistent digital identifier to uniquely identify a researcher across diverse systems. This supports automatic linking between you and your publications and professional activities. See ORCID.

Pure allows you to link an ORCID ID to your personal profile, and to export information from your personal profile within Pure to your ORCID ID.

If you choose to export from Pure to ORCID, the following information is sent:

• Other identifiers on your profile (Scopus Author ID, Researcher ID, Digital Author ID).

• Limited organizational affiliation information:
  • Institutional affiliation (along with the City and Country of the organization)
  • End date of affiliation (if a former member of staff or student)
• Pure Portal URLs (if configured to be exported by your local Pure administrator).
• Metadata about your research outputs, where all of the following apply:
  • the publication status is ePub ahead of print or Published
  • the workflow state matches that configured by your local Pure administrator
  • the visibility is Public

Link an ORCID ID to Pure

1. Open your Personal overview workspace.
2. In the top area of the workspace, click Edit profile. The Person editor window is opened with your current information.
3. In another browser window, navigate to https://orcid.org/.
   1. If you do not yet have an ORCID ID, register with ORCID and note your ORCID ID number.
   2. If you do have an ORCID ID, sign in to ORCID to verify your ORCID ID number.
4. On the Metadata tab in the Personal Identification section, select Add existing ORCID ID.
5. In the Add existing ORCID dialog, type your ORCID ID and click Check.
6. You will be redirected to the ORCID website, where you may be asked to log in again.
7. Using the ORCID website, follow the prompts to allow Pure to access your ORCID record, and click Authorize.
8. You will be redirected to Pure's Person editor window, where you initially started the process to add an ORCID ID. You can see whether the process was successful in the ORCID section.
9. Click Save. The Person editor window is closed.
10. Check the email address that is associated with your ORCID ID. If necessary, respond to the verification email from ORCID.

Perform a one-off export to a linked ORCID ID

If you have ORCID exports enabled at your institution, it is likely that an automatic export has been set up of the available information in your profile at some scheduled interval. This process copies information from your profile in Pure to ORCID. However, you can also export your content to ORCID ‘on-demand’:

1. Open your Personal overview workspace.
2. In the top area of the workspace, click Edit profile. The Person editor window is opened with your current information.
3. On the Metadata tab in the Personal Identification section, you can see any ORCID IDs affiliated with your personal profile. If there is no ORCID ID listed, add one as described above.
4. Next to the ORCID ID you want to export to, select Export.
5. All of the content approved when setting up the ORCID ID will be re-exported, regardless of when it was last updated.

Manage visibility and privacy of content in ORCID

When you create your ORCID ID you are prompted to select a default privacy level for new research activities, which is applied to content exported from Pure to ORCID.

In addition to this, various actions in Pure and ORCID can have consequences for the visibility of items in ORCID.

Revoke permissions for Pure to export to ORCID

1. Log into your ORCID account.
2. Navigate to the Account settings page.
3. In the Trusted organizations section, click the trashcan icon (Revoke access) in the table row for Pure.

The next time an export is attempted (either ‘on-demand’ or automatically via a system Job), Pure will attempt the export but will be informed by ORCID that the authorization has been revoked. Pure will not attempt export again unless the User re-authorizes the export of content from Pure to ORCID.
