Researchers, publishers, funders and institutions identify authorship across
multiple Thomson Reuters products through ORCID integration
PHILADELPHIA, PA, November 19, 2012- The IP & Science business of Thomson
Reuters, the world's leading provider of intelligent information for businesses
and professionals, today announced its initiative to incorporate ORCID (Open
Researcher and Contributor ID) identifiers into its scientific and scholarly
research offerings, ensuring that users of resources such as ResearcherID and
ScholarOne Manuscripts are able to incorporate their unique IDs into the
attribution and publishing process. The system provides a central registry of
researchers across disciplines and geographic boundaries, connecting researchers
to their research.

Thomson Reuters is a founding member of the ORCID initiative, having worked
closely with the organization since inception in 2009 to develop and define the
principles for this program. Given its contribution   to the genesis of ORCID,
Thomson Reuters is committed to ensuring its flagship solutions incorporate
ORCID technology and make it easily accessible.

"The ORCID unique identifier is a game-changing initiative that will positively
impact the way researchers and research are identified and attributed," said
Keith MacGregor, executive vice president, Thomson Reuters. "We have long
recognized the need for accurate attribution in research and are uniquely
positioned to help individual researchers, institutions, publishers and funding
organizations leverage ORCID technology across the scholarly workflow. It is
encouraging to know that approximately 50 percent of the ORCID registries to
date are Thomson Reuters ResearcherID members."

Thomson Reuters is embedding ORCID identifiers across its scientific and
scholarly research ecosystem, providing integrated continuity for the use and
access of this information. Researchers can register for, or upload, their ORCID
identifier into ResearcherID; that information will then be accessible in an
EndNote bibliography, and eventually be part of the formatted, cited reference.

The ORCID identifier will also appear in ScholarOne Manuscripts, and can be
searched and reported on as part of the peer-review process (journals can
collect ORCID identifiers for authors). Published articles will be indexed in
the Web of Knowledge, with links to ORCID profile data that are searchable
within the interface. The ecosystem is complete by enabling administrators,
funders and policy makers to view groups of ORCIDs to measure and benchmark
against others in InCites.
