1) La Trobe University is piloting the use of ISNI and ORCID identifiers to better manage researcher publications and identities. 2) The library decided to implement ISNI to fill a gap between identifiers in scientific databases and humanities publications. They have assigned over 2,000 ISNI numbers so far to current researchers. 3) ORCID is also being adopted to uniquely identify researchers and is becoming a standard in the academic world. The library is working to integrate ORCID into its research management systems.

- 2. 2La Trobe University Context ? Institutional motivations ? Library decision making ? Researcher behaviour
- 3. 3La Trobe University Institutional motivations ? Most institutions are trying to manage publications better ? Changing role for the Library ? The need for name identifiers ? Problems with names that we think ISNIs will help to resolve ? Webinar/Discussion with OCLC Sept 2013 ¨C agreed La Trobe would be a pilot ? ORCID is gaining momentum rapidly in the academic environment
- 4. 4La Trobe University Why ISNI? ? Based on ¡°trusted¡° library infrastructure (and many years of library data) ? Fills a gap between identifiers in scientific databases (Web of Science, Scopus, etc.) and humanities/mono publishing ? The ISNI system is data-driven ? Matching against millions of records. ? Data comes from many sources into ISNI ? Doesn¡¯t rely on the academic to claim anything ? Institutional membership ¨C 800 Euros (basic institutional membership)
- 5. 5La Trobe University Who else is using ISNI?
- 7. 7La Trobe University Why ORCID? ? Becoming a known identifier in the academic world ? Recently endorsed by: ANDS, ARMS, CAUL, Universities Australia, NHMRC and ARC ? Used by publishers: Thomson Reuters; Elsevier ? Research data registries, research management systems taking this up: DataCite, Symplectic Elements, PURE ? Institutional membership ¨C $4000 USD (basic institutional membership)
- 8. 8La Trobe University ISNI work at La Trobe ? ISNI Numbers - initial upload (June 2014) ? Assigned: 1021 ? Provisional: 2530 ? Non VIAF links: 1563 ? VIAF links: 1864 ? Total links: 3427 ? After unique name assignment (July 2014) ? Assigned: 1704 ? After manual work done (October 2014-Jan 2015) ? Assigned : 2255 ? 1149 current, active researchers with ISNIs, from 1274 current, active University researchers in total (90%)

- 14. 14La Trobe University ORCID ISNI interoperability Statement issued April 2013: https://orcid.org/blog/2013/04/22/orcid-and-isni-issue-joint-statement-interoperation- april-2013 MoU signed January 2014: http://www.isni.org/content/isni-and-orcid-sign-memo-understanding-2014-01 While ISNI and ORCID have different missions and employ different processes for assigning identifiers ¡ORCID and ISNI are agreed on the need to aim for interoperation through linking and of sharing public data between the two systems
- 15. 15La Trobe University ORCID ISNI interoperability
- 17. 17La Trobe University ISNI to ORCID link
- 20. 20La Trobe University MyPublications ¨C ORCID integration
- 21. 21La Trobe University What next? ? Communicate to all researchers that the Library is contributing data to support ISNI identifier assignment and creating ORCIDs on their behalf ? Research Team will be working with academics and graduate researchers to explain ORCID and ISNI as part of their work to meet with new researchers and support new profiles of academics. ? Explain what researchers need to do with their ORCID and ISNI. ? Configure our systems to include ORCIDs and ISNIs automatically
- 22. 22La Trobe University What next? Currently looking at Symplectic software and working to include ORCID (& ISNI?). The SHE College will be approached to participate in a pilot with library staff member and trial assigning ORCID ids or linking Scopus ids. There will be meetings with Symplectic to discuss this. Need to integrate SAP with Symplectic to access staff numbers etc., and need to continuously collect data to avoid missing data with the staff/student turnover each year. Any new academics/researchers are already contacted to integrate into system. It has been discussed with HR that the ORCID id is provided when new staff commence noting public or private setting.
- 23. 23La Trobe University Key learnings ? Our scholar¡¯s presence and efforts can easily be split across several systems ? Researchers need to know which researcher id systems are University recommended/preferred to focus their efforts ? We need to work on Scopus author-ids and Thomson Reuters researcher-IDs as well ? Integration in Symplectic Elements and Vivo ? Continue to work with the ISNI-IA and ORCID to encourage further integration between ISNI and ORCID ? Continue to manage identifiers and integrate them within existing systems at La Trobe such as : ReDBox/Mint, ResearchOnline, ResearchMaster
