ORCID Reviewer Attribution Integration
Overview
ORCID integration in SmartSimple Cloud streamlines the grant application process for researchers by enabling the populating of their professional review summary to ORCID profiles. This automation saves time, reduces errors, and minimizes administrative burden, allowing researchers to focus more on their research activities.
For research funding organizations, this integration offers improved data quality and accuracy. By leveraging ORCID’s verified data, these organizations can ensure precise information for funding decisions, reducing the need for extensive data verification.
In the peer review process, ORCID integration links reviewers’ expertise and histories with their ORCID iDs, ensuring appropriate matching to grant applications. This improves the relevance and quality of reviews. Additionally, ORCID allows peer reviewers to include their reviewing activities in their ORCID records, providing professional recognition and encouraging more researchers to participate in the peer review process.
The ORCID API is essential for the integration process, enabling real-time access to researchers’ ORCID records. This facilitates authentication, data synchronization, and continuous updates within grant management systems. By automating these tasks, the API enhances user experience for researchers and administrators, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.
In the following sections, we will describe how to configure this integration in the SmartSimple Cloud system.
