Make openness trusted: A case of integrating ORCID with Journals@Lincoln

Abstract

Research integrity issues aren’t new. With the rising pressures for researchers to publish or perish, and fast development of technologies such as AI, how we access trusted scholarly information has become increasingly challenging. This lightning talk aims to bring awareness to the issues of research integrity. It will use the integration between ORCID and Journals@Lincoln as an example to show how we can help to uphold trust through providing validated information. ORCID stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, and is a free, unique, persistent identifier for researchers. ORCID also allows publishers, funders or institutions to send research information to researchers’ ORCID profiles. Journals@Lincoln provides a publishing platform for Lincoln University editors to host open access journals. The integration allows us to embed ORCID in the editorial and publication workflows to increase readers’ confidence in Journals@Lincoln and prevents research misconduct. https://journals.lincoln.ac.nz/
