Setting Up the ORCID ID on a PersonSetting Up the ORCID ID on a Person
What
When setting up ORCID ID on a Person, it needs to be authenticated before it can be used for exporting data to ORCID.
Depending on where you are in Pure and what User is accessing you'll have different possibilities to setup ORCID ID on a Person.
How
- If you as an Administrator switch to the User connected to the Person which needs the ORCID ID added.
- Go to Edit Profile and then you'll see the Create or Connect to ORCID:
Note: You'll have to create or use the persons existing ORCID credentials to connect to ORCID. This is to control that the one authenticating is actually in control of the data and allowed to add it to the ORCID profile. Because of this, you might not as an Administrator be able to authenticate on behalf of the person. In most cases the User needs to set up the ORCID ID themselves by logging into Pure.
- Go to Edit Profile and then you'll see the Create or Connect to ORCID:
- If you as an Administrator opens up a Person editor window, then you'll see an Add existing ORCID.
- If you Add existing ORCID and save the Person, then the Person will see an Authorise export of content to ORCID, when logging in:
- If you Add existing ORCID and save the Person, then the Person will see an Authorise export of content to ORCID, when logging in:
- If the ORCID is set as synchronised field, the ORCID link will be shown on the Person if an ID is added. But a Person without an ID, will have a read only (hidden) field instead of the Add existing ORCID field.
- If the field is synchronised an Administrator is not able to manually add ORCID ID on the Person content type. It must be synchronised from the source or the field must be unlocked.
Check ORCID ID
- The ID can be checked by clicking on it, which would take you to ORCID.
- The ID check can be done no matter if you have the ORCID export set up or not.
- If the link takes you to the Sandbox version of ORCID, then check the configuration for ORCID:
- Go to Administrator > Integrations > Export to ORCID, and see if the Sandbox mode is turned ON:
- If this is turned ON, it will link to the Sandbox of ORCID. No matter if you have the Sandbox credentials added or not.
- Go to Administrator > Integrations > Export to ORCID, and see if the Sandbox mode is turned ON:
- The ID check can also be done, while you add the ORCID. If it is connecting to Sandbox, then the check will probably fail.
