  • Abstract:
    A digital object identifier (DOI) uses a unique string of characters to distinguish one electronic document from another, making it easier disambiguate two objects with the same or similar title(s). However, distinguishing two authors, who might have the same or similar names, has been more difficult, especially among Asian authors. ORCID identifiers may help authors disambiguate themselves from others with the same name, even in the same research field. In 2012 the Open Research and Contributor ID (ORCID) registry was launched as an open registry to specifically disambiguate authors and contributors. When an author creates an ORCID record they are issued a unique ORCID identifier, in the form of a URI. Authors may then include their ORCID identifier when authoring or contributing to a work. The ORCID iD acts as digital signature and link, directing readers to the unique ORCID record for that author, which, if the author chooses, may include contact information as well as other publications by that author. Since ORCID identifier use is voluntary, increased usage among transportation authors will require reaching out to them where they work, publish, and conference. This poster will: describe ORCID iDs to transportation researchers; enumerate the benefits of registering with ORCID; discuss how forms, such as Technical Report Documentation pages may have to change to record ORCIDs and other identifiers; and list transportation-related journals and databases that currently include ORCID identifiers and those that are planning on it in the future. Goal: The goal of the poster is to increase the use of ORCID ids among transportation researchers. This poster was originally presented at the Transportation Research Board 94th Annual Meeting, January 13, 2015.
