orcid_get_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 — res

orcid_search_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 disa

orcid_get_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 nextO

orcid_get_work_detailread-only

Fetch full detail records for 1–100 works by their put-codes in a single request. Put-codes are returned by orcid_get_works in the putCode field of each work entry. Returns the abstract (short-description), contributors with CRediT roles, the external IDs on that record (DOI, PMID, arXiv, ISBN, etc.), citation metadata (BibTeX or other formats when provided), journal title, URL, and the source t

orcid_get_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. Affili

orcid_get_fundingread-only

Fetch funding records for an ORCID researcher: grants, contracts, awards, and salary awards. Returns funder names, funder organization identifiers, grant numbers, funding periods, and sources. Funding items come from the researcher or from member organizations such as funders, institutions, and search-and-link tools; sources names who added each. Most researchers have no funding entries even when

orcid_get_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

orcid_get_research_resourcesread-only

List research resources associated with an ORCID researcher — compute allocations, equipment access, lab facilities, data resources, and clinical study registrations. This is a newer ORCID section; most researchers have no entries. Returns the resource title, hosting organization, external identifiers (often a URI to the allocation portal), access period, and the source that added each entry. Mo

orcid_resolve_researcherread-only

Disambiguate an author name to a verified ORCID iD. Returns ranked candidates (5 by default, up to 20 via the rows parameter) 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, Je
