I like this idea. Any objections from leadership?

No objections -- this is a great idea. Thanks Raffi

Thanks, Boone! But, I am a little confused if I should put the number there or the URL. I tried placing the number (0000-0002-7930-0182) but no link to the profile comes up. Should I instead use the URL (http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7930-0182)? If the URL is required, perhaps the wording could be changed.

Thanks again!

BTW the only reason I know about it is because I had to enter it on my NSF grant application!

Oh, actually, placing the URL does not turn it into a link. Should I use HTML?

The request was for ORCID ID, so all it is is an ID field. It doesn't do anything, or validate anything.

I guess what makes sense is to take the ID and turn it into a link. Can you please share information about what the links should look like? I can write some logic that will accept URLs and transform them into IDs as necessary.

Example: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7930-0182 for ID 0000-0002-7930-0182.

I think a link would make sense. I agree that the field should be actionable.

In https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/0abb998bc0b08731e307b2c86c35a3cdaf5de690 I added a routine that does the following:

- Grabs what looks like an ORCID ID out of the value of the 'ORCID ID' field (using [...] - no other validation or checksumming takes place)
- Uses that ID to generate a link

So, you should be able to enter either a raw ID or the URL, and it'll be formatted as [...].

Thanks!

I just tried to add an orchid ID to my profile and it did not seem to take (I do not see an ORCID icon in my social media links or a link anywhere)

First, I tried adding:

0000-0001-6173-7194

When nothing happened, I tried adding:

orcid.org/0000-0001-6173-7194

FYI -- I started a new ticket here: https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/8460

I was also expecting to see it in the social media links along with the associated icon. It is a text link though that is shown along side my email and website. See http://cuny.is/khatchad.
