ORCID offers a number of membership options which are described at http://about.orcid.org/about/membership. The membership levels currently in place were not designed to favor any particular type of institution, but instead to meet the needs of our various members. ORCID depends on the fees from members to operate and to provide free access for individuals, and at this time, offering a no-cost option, especially for an organization as large as GEN2PHEN, isn’t possible. But, as ORCID grows and more organizations join as members, we will revisit the membership levels and consider adding more options.

As for the specific concerns of GEN2PHEN and the BioSHaRE Consortia joining ORCID, Ed and Laure have mentioned some options in their comments.

This is a great idea and one we plan to offer once we have the affiliation part of the ORCID Registry complete. That should come out this summer and I’ll update you once we have it in place.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This is the second report of a bug in Chrome we have received, but we can’t replicate the problem. If you are still seeing this issue could you let us know what operating system you are on at support@orcid.org

Thanks,

This is a great suggestion and one we are working on. We are planning a complete redesign of how works are stored and displayed in ORCID and that redesign will include better options for editing works.

I’m sorry to hear you encountered problems with citations from different sources. Creating an efficient way to sort and combine citations as well as remove duplicates is part of a major project we are undertaking next quarter to redesign how works are stored and displayed in the ORCID Registry. Once the redesign is in place is will be easier to reconcile publications from multiple sources, but it will be a few months before it is complete.

I’m so sorry the registration page does not work for you. If you can provide me a little more information we can figure out what is going on and solve this issue. Just to check, the page you are referring to is https://orcid.org/register, right? If not please send me the URL of the page with the problem. If you could also send a screen shot or a description of what isn’t displaying right to us at support@orcid.org and let us know what browser and computer operating system you are on- that will help us figure out the problem.

Hi,

I’m going to merge this idea with a larger one for allowing sort of publications. However, publications should be in chronological order by default. If you can send me your ORCID iD at support@orcid.org I’ll take a look at your record and see what the problem might be.

Thanks,

Thanks for letting us know about this bug. Our developers will take a look at the cookie settings and see if we can correct this issue shortly.

We completely agree that our publication list needs a face-lift, especially for users with long list of publications or long publication citations.

We are working on a complete redesign of how the ORCID Registry stores and displays works this summer and will hopefully have a much better interface in place soon. If you have any specific suggestions you’d like us to consider post them as a comment to this idea, or email us at support@orcid.org.

Thanks,

We recently added a feature to let you set the default privacy level of new works. This option can be set under the account settings page, but it does not apply to previously added works.

We are currently working on a function to let you select multiple works and apply a privacy level, and I will let you know as soon as we have that finished.
