Disambiguating authors via "Open Researcher and Contributor ID" (ORCID) can be useful in associating a researcher's various contributions and crediting them, as well as offering infrastructure to authenticate.

Currently, we use the ORCID web service to perform a general search, querying with the DOI and filtering on name. However, this approach is a bit fuzzy (i.e. matching strings) and does not use the valuable information indexed by PubMed, resulting in incomplete sets of ORCIDs.

The goal here is to combine the exact information indexed by PubMed and ORCID, and normalize this information within a document (i.e. authorProfiles).


Some stats about documents from the database:

Document Category Count
Has Contributor name 85
Has >=1 ORCID 70
Has ORCID for Contributor name 42
