Common Systems with ORCID Integration
This page provides information about some of the most common systems that feature ORCID Integrations. These systems are used by ORCID members worldwide and in New Zealand.
If you have any questions about these systems or how your organisation may be able to utilise them, then you can contact orcid@royalsociety.org.nz for support.
Use the below table to assess how the common ORCID integrations may support your workflows:

Further Information about the Systems:
Pure (Elsevier)
Pure (version 9.0 and higher) is an ORCID integration enabled Research Information System which has been developed by Elsevier, who is an ORCID Member and a Certified ORCID Service Provider.
Research Information Systems (also known as CRIS) increase the efficiency and effectiveness of research information management activities by integrating and linking the elements and processes that comprise the research ecosystem. The benefits of Research Information Systems include increasing the visibility of institution researchers through researcher profiles, improving the accuracy of research reporting, promoting open science and managing research administration.
Using the Member API, the Pure integration can be used to:
- Authenticate researchers’ ORCID iDs
- Assert the organisation affiliation to the researchers’ ORCID record
- Update Pure records with works from ORCID
- Import works data from Scopus using the ORCID iD as a search parameter
Symplectic Elements
Symplectic Elements (version 5.19 and higher) is an ORCID integration enabled Research Information System which has been developed by Digital Science who is an ORCID Member and a Certified ORCID Service Provider.
Research Information Systems (also known as CRIS) increase the efficiency and effectiveness of research information management activities by integrating and linking the various elements and processes that contribute to the research ecosystem. The benefits of Research Information Systems include increasing the visibility of researchers through researcher profiles, improving the accuracy of research reporting, promoting open science and managing research administration.
ORCID members can configure Elements to allow researchers to link to their ORCID iD and gather persistent identifiers from their ORCID record. Elements can also be used to add works to your researchers’ ORCID records and assert their organisational affiliation.
Using the Member API, the Symplectic Elements integration can be used to:
- Authenticate researchers’ ORCID iDs
- Import works data from ORCID
- Write employment and works data to ORCID
- Read persistent identifiers from the ORCID record and use complimentary external sources to compile the metadata record (including citation data) within Elements.
DSpace-CRIS
DSpace CRIS is an extension of DSpace which acts as an ORCID integration enabled Current Research Information System. DSpace CRIS is certified by ORCID.
Research Information Systems (also known as CRIS) increase the efficiency and effectiveness of research information management activities by integrating and linking the various elements and processes that comprise the research ecosystem. The benefits of Research Information Systems include increasing the visibility of institution researchers through researcher profiles, improving the accuracy of research reporting, promoting open science and managing research administration.
Using the Member API, the DSpace-CRIS integration can be used to:
- Connect the profile to ORCID
- ORCID Registry Lookup
- Import publications from ORCID
- Push employment, education, country, key words and other iDs to ORCID
EPrints
EPrints is an open source ORCID-enabled repository platform. A repository platform acts as an archive for any intellectual output published by researchers within an institution. The key benefits of using a repository is to allow open access to researchers’ work, to create further visibility for outputs and to store outputs that would otherwise be lost including unpublished or grey literature.
Integration with the ORCID Member API is available through the ORCID Support Advance Plugin from EPrints.
Using the Member API, the EPrints integration can be used to:
- Allow users to connect their repository and ORCID accounts
- Populate the repository with authenticated ORCID iDs
- Import and export works and affiliations between the repository and linked ORCID profiles.
DSpace (version 7.3 and higher)
DSpace is an open-source repository platform that is ORCID integrated. DSpace and DSpace-CRIS are built and maintained by 4Science.
A repository platform acts as an archive for any intellectual output published by institutional researchers. The key benefits of using a repository is to allow open access to researchers’ work, to create further visibility for outputs and to store outputs that would otherwise be lost including unpublished or grey literature.
Using the Member API, the DSpace integration can be used to:
- Connect a repository profile to ORCID
- ORCID Registry Lookup
- Import publications from ORCID
- Push biographic, works and funding information to ORCID
Open Journal Systems (OJS)
OJS is an open-source ORCID enabled software for publishing scholarly journals. The ORCID API integration is freely available as an OJS Plugin. OJS is listed on the ORCID Certified Service Provider list.
Using the Member API and when the ORCID Integration is enabled, the OJS integration can be used to:
- Collect and authenticate ORCID iDs for users and authors
- Display authenticated ORCID iDs in manuscript records
- Automatically request that contributing authors provide their ORCID iDs
- Update authors’ ORCID records with published article information
New Zealand ORCID Hub
The New Zealand ORCID Hub is a web application developed by a team from University of Auckland and Royal Society Te Apārangi. The Hub provides a simple to use interface in order for New Zealand ORCID Consortium Members to add information to their staff's ORCID records. All New Zealand ORCID Consortium Members can be onboarded to the NZ ORICID Hub and support and educational resources are offered by Royal Society Te Apārangi throughout the process. Researchers can also sign in to the NZ ORCID Hub so that affiliation information can be automatically added to their ORCID records and so they can make use of the CV generator tool.
Using Member API credentials and once the member is onboarded to the NZ ORCID Hub, the Hub can be used to:
- Collect and authenticate ORCID iDs
- Write information to all of the ORCID record data types available under ORCID 3.0 using csv or json file upload
- Use of the NZ ORCID Hub API to develop webhooks and automatic read and write capabilities
