Service providers that have pre-built ORCID functionality in their products and services enable ORCID member organizations to gain value from their membership in the quickest, simplest way: by providing a means to easily integrate ORCID into their local workflows and systems and provide a more consistent user experience for researchers when they encounter ORCID. The services listed here Certified Service Providers (CSPs,) which ORCID recommends as adhering to best practices recognized throughout the research ecosystem.
Manuscript Submission Systems
ORCID streamlines the publishing process, improves the management of author and reviewer databases, and enhances the accuracy of name-based article repository searches. Read more about the workflow-based criteria these manuscript submission systems have met to become ORCID CSPs.
PKP: Open Journal Systems (OJS)
OJS is an open source software application for managing and publishing scholarly journals. Originally developed and released by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) in 2001 to improve access to research, it is the most widely used open source journal publishing platform in existence, with over 10,000 journals using it worldwide.
ORCID API integration is provided through a plugin that is freely available in the OJS Plugin Gallery, and which can be used to collect and authenticate ORCID iDs for users and authors; display authenticated ORCID iDs in manuscript records; and (optional) automatically request that contributing authors provide their ORCID iDs. If configured using the ORCID member API, the plugin can also update authors’ ORCID records with published article information. More information on the plugin and how to use it can be found in PKP’s Documentation Hub.
PKP: Open Preprint System (OPS)
Software to run a preprint server anywhere, built on the same powerful, flexible foundations as OJS. Accelerate research with a preprint server where researchers can upload datasets, revise papers before publication, and link preprints to the final published work.
Grant/Facility Application Management Systems
Understanding the impact of funding programs is vital to funders strategy, program design, and mission alignment. By embedding ORCID iDs in funding workflows, awardees can be reliably connected to funding programs—as well as saving everyone time and reducing errors caused by manual keying of information. Funding systems play their part in building a trusted research information infrastructure by asserting connections between individuals and the grants that are awarded to them. Read more about the workflow-based criteria that grant/facility application management systems must meet to become ORCID CSPs.
Repository Systems
The use of ORCID IDs adds visibility to repository content and authors, facilitates collaborations and networking, and helps organizations with institutional reporting, institutional and national assessment programs, and management of workflows throughout the research cycle. Read more about the workflow-based criteria that repository systems must meet to become ORCID CSPs.
Research Information Systems
Research organizations are in a unique position to connect validated, trustworthy information about affiliated researchers to their ORCID records. This enables the research organization to showcase their researchers and their work in the research literature, and allows them to more easily keep track of former staff, students, and faculty past and present. It also makes it simple for researchers to share accurate and authoritative information about their affiliation when applying for grants, publishing an article, book, or database, and more, increasing the trustworthiness of the scholarly record. ORCID integrations also reduce administrative burden for researchers by automating the time-consuming process of maintaining up-to-date records in local faculty profiles or research information systems. Read more about the workflow-based criteria these research information systems have met to become ORCID CSPs.
4Science: DSpace-CRIS
DSpace-CRIS is the first free open-source extension of DSpace for the Research Data and Information Management ever developed. Differently from other (commercial) CRIS/RIMS, DSpace-CRIS has the institutional repository as its core component, providing high visibility on the web to all the collected information and objects. DSpace-CRIS is built/maintained by 4Science.
ORCID members can set up their DSpace-CRIS installation to allow researchers to link or facilitate the creation of a new ORCID iD.
DSpace-CRIS can also be used to update your researchers affiliation and education and add works and funding to their record.
Digital Science: Symplectic Elements
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 affiliation with your organization. More details about the integration.

EPrints
EPrints is an open-source repository platform developed by a global community. Integration with the ORCID member API, as provided by the ORCID Support Advance plugin, allows users to connect their repository and ORCID accounts, populate the repository with authenticated ORCID iDs, and import and export works between the repository and linked ORCID profiles.
More information about the plugin is available on the EPrints Wiki. You can also track the latest developments and download the code on the plugin’s GitHub page, and can install the latest release on your repository from the EPrints Bazaar.
