• orcid_get_affiliationsGet ORCID Researcher Affiliationsread-only

  Fetch affiliation records for an ORCID researcher. The `types` parameter controls which affiliation sections to return: employment, education, invited-positions, distinctions, memberships, qualifications, services, or all. Default is employment and education. Returns organization names, disambiguated organization identifiers (ROR/GRID/Ringgold), departments, roles, date ranges, and sources. Affiliations come from the researcher or from member organizations such as a university research information system; sources names who added each, and selfAsserted tells the two apart. Absence does not mean…

• orcid_get_fundingGet ORCID Researcher Fundingread-only

  List funding for an ORCID researcher, or supply a summary putCode as put_code to fetch one deposited award. Summary returns one preferred record per grant group with all sources and distinct periods. Detail returns that deposit alone with its own source, optional exact decimal amount and currency, URL, and deposited description. Continue description text by passing nextDescriptionOffset as description_offset with the same put_code; offsets count Unicode code points. Complete detail surfaces fit 64,000 bytes, with explicit metadata or single-code-point overflow exceptions. Funding records are s…

• orcid_get_peer_reviewsGet ORCID Researcher Peer Reviewsread-only

  Fetch peer review activity for an ORCID researcher: reviewer role (reviewer, editor, chair, etc.), review type, completion dates, ISSN-keyed group identifiers, and the convening organization as ORCID records it — often the service that imported the review (e.g. Publons, Clarivate). ORCID returns no journal name; groupIssn is the key to the journal, and a review that has one is headed by it. Use to assess editorial activity, journal affiliations, and the scope of a researcher's peer review contributions. Reviews come from the researcher or from member organizations that import them; sources nam…

• orcid_get_profileGet ORCID Researcher Profileread-only

  Fetch a researcher's public profile from ORCID: name, other names, biography, keywords, researcher URLs, and external identifiers such as Scopus Author ID, ResearcherID, and Loop profile. This is the entry point for building a researcher dossier. Pass a bare ORCID iD (0000-0001-2345-6789) or a full URI (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-2345-6789). The profile contains only publicly visible data — researchers control visibility per field.

• orcid_get_research_resourcesGet ORCID Research Resourcesread-only

  List allocation proposals for an ORCID researcher, or supply put_code from a summary record to retrieve its actual resource items. Summary is the default view and includes every proposal host, identifiers, access period, and source provenance; hostOrganization remains the first proposal host. Detail adds item names, types, all operators, identifiers, and URLs. Page items with item_offset (default 0) and item_limit (default 50, effective maximum 100, hard maximum 10,000), both requiring put_code; continue at nextItemOffset with the same selector. Both detail surfaces fit 64,000 bytes including …

• orcid_get_work_detailGet ORCID Work Details (Bulk)read-only

  Fetch full work details by put-code from orcid_get_works. Accepts 1–1,000 raw codes, deduplicates in first-occurrence order, and fetches the first 100 distinct codes in one request. Returns abstracts, contributors with CRediT roles, the record's external IDs (DOI, PMID, arXiv, ISBN, etc.), citation metadata, journal title, URL, and source provenance. A record listing more than 100 contributors keeps the first 100 plus the requested researcher's own entries, with contributorCount and contributorsTruncated; a citation over 8,192 bytes is left out and flagged by citationOmitted. Per-record errors…

• orcid_get_worksGet ORCID Researcher Worksread-only

  Retrieve works associated with an ORCID iD — publications, datasets, software, preprints, and more. Returns work summaries with put-codes, titles, types, publication dates, journal names, and all external identifiers (DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, ISBNs). The first 50 works are returned by default; workCount reports the total available, and prolific records are paged with offset and the returned nextOffset (or raise limit). A page also stops early once the response reaches its 64,000-byte budget, so returnedCount can come in below limit; truncated and nextOffset then carry the continuation. Set incl…

• orcid_resolve_researcherResolve ORCID Researcherread-only

  Disambiguate an author name to a verified ORCID iD. Returns ranked candidates (5 by default; rows accepts 1–10000 and is capped at 20 per search stage with a notice when clamped) with transparent disambiguation signals: name match type (exact/partial/other-name/none), institution overlap flag, and whether a DOI or PMID anchor was used in the query. The name is searched as an exact phrase first; when that finds nothing, byline initials (J. Doudna, Jennifer A. Doudna) and then the other names listed on ORCID records are tried. A DOI or PMID anchor is near-deterministic — it filters to researcher…

• orcid_search_researchersSearch ORCID Researchersread-only

  Search the ORCID registry using structured field parameters or raw Solr syntax. Provide at least one non-blank search field; all provided structured params are ANDed together. The `query` field adds raw Solr syntax, ANDed with the structured params as one group. Returns ORCID iDs with inline name and institution data — no follow-up profile fetches needed for basic disambiguation. For ranked disambiguation of an ambiguous author name, use orcid_resolve_researcher instead. The ORCID Public API caps results at 10,000 — use pagination for large result sets. Each response also stops at 64,000 bytes…
