SciELO Brazil, a member of the Brazilian ORCID consortium and a pioneer of open access publishing, has been partnering with ORCID since 2017. With their encouragement, more than 75 of the journals using the SciELO platform are now requesting ORCID iDs during article submission and several have also signed our Open Letter. By the end of 2019, about 290 SciELO Brazilian indexed-journals will require ORCID iDs for authors during the submission process.<\/p>\n

SciELO is part of the broader publishing community, which has been an enthusiastic adopter of ORCID. Publishers have been embedding iDs in manuscript submission systems since ORCID\u2019s launch, and are leading the field in using ORCID to recognize peer review activities. Researchers are still most likely to use their iD in a publication workflow, and there are well over 32m works connected with ORCID records, representing more than 10m unique DOIs.<\/p>\n

To achieve our mantra of \u201center once, reuse often\u201d we rely on organizations to connect \u2013 assert \u2013 validated data to researchers\u2019 ORCID records. For publishers this means asserting works metadata (publications, datasets, peer review activities, etc.). To ensure that these assertions can be trusted, it is critical that publishers and journals collect authenticated iDs.<\/a> When a researcher signs in to (or \u201cauthenticates\u201d) their iD and grants permission to an organization to access it, you can be certain that researcher control and privacy are respected, while also ensuring that you have the correct iD for that author. Researchers benefit from this cooperation, by being correctly and uniquely identified when using their iD during submission and being accurately connected with their contributions.<\/p>\n

With the researcher\u2019s permission, ORCID members (\u201cTrusted organizations\u201d) can also read, add and update information on that record. Publishers play a big role in this: close to 2,000 journals are now requiring iDs for corresponding authors during manuscript submission, around 9,000 journals are collecting iDs, and more than 2,400 publishers are embedding iDs in the DOI metadata provided to Crossref, who can then automatically update the author\u2019s ORCID record.<\/p>\n

ORCID is all about community and we engage closely with organizations across all sectors. For the publishing community, this includes:<\/p>\n
