Dimensions, the linked research information system from Digital Science, has announced a new collaboration with ORCID. The collaboration will make it possible for authors to connect their ORCID iD to Dimensions and import their publication metadata from Dimensions into to their ORCID record.
A non-profit organisation supported by the global scholarly community, ORCID provides individual, persistent digital identifiers that millions of researchers are using in key research workflows to ensure their contributions are more easily and accurately discovered and cited.
Dimensions offers free search and discovery for over 91 million publications, and is a reliable, structured source for researchers looking to explore the latest research and stay up to date with progress in their field.
Users will now be able to connect their ORCID iD to their Dimensions account, and will have the option to export publication information to ORCID simply by clicking on an 'Add to ORCID' button alongside each publications listing in Dimensions.
In addition to enabling authors to claim publications from within Dimensions, public data from ORCID are also now being used to support algorithmic author disambiguation across the platform. Where made available by the researcher, biographical details from ORCID are shown on the author's Dimensions profile.
