OpenAIRE EXPLORE and ORCID Integration: Complete your Open Science ORCID profile
#DidYouKnow that you can effortlessly complete your Open Science ORCID profile with OpenAIRE EXPLORE? Via OpenAIRE EXPLORE, you can access your full range of research products, as published in journals, data repositories, software repositories, catch-all repositories, and your institutional repository. This functionality is powered by the underlying OpenAIRE Graph, one of the world’s largest open Scholarly Knowledge Graphs, encompassing publications, research data, and research software collected from ~2000 scientific data sources worldwide, including known registries such as Crossref, DataCite, ROR.org, and ORCID itself.
Relying on the OpenAIRE Graph’s extensive dataset, OpenAIRE EXPLORE can facilitate your entire research output, from journal articles to datasets and software tools, to be accurately portrayed and easily accessible via your ORCID profile.
How are research products associated with your ORCID in the Graph?

- Collecting product metadata records with ORCID references from data sources worldwide (e.g. products deposited into Zenodo.org).
- Implementing AI and inference methods to identify ORCID IDs when these are missing from the metadata records.
