Issues: 1) we need multiple instances of the ORCID widget - one for each creator. It needs to be a repeatable field, with a button like the "+Additional creator" button. 2) The widget can't be added to the metadata page without causing major shifts int he layout. It's not flexible enough for us to incorporate it without the visual flow being off. 3) We considered adding the widget to the bottom of the metadata page, underneath "citations". However, Perry's response is below and addresses the issue:
There's a more fundamental problem. Think about the workflow. User inputs the creator name into the first box. Then, wants to look up the ORCID. User has to input the name again into another box. We'll want to think through all the contingencies and design this properly if we want to add it. It can't be just plopped into the form as it currently exists.
Suggested placement, if the widget were able to be customized.
I think, ideally, you'd want to combine the text entry box with the search box, so that the user only needs to enter the name once. Also, you'd want the authorized version of the name from ORCID to be saved.
I was looking to see how/if Zenodo incorporates ORCIDs and it doesn’t look like they do. This does get complicated and I can think of a handful of use cases where you are entering your own ORCID or someone else’s if you are depositing data on someone’s behalf.
Actually you can log into Zenodo via your ORCID, So I'm guessing they do integrate on some level.
We are putting ORCID integration on hold for now since it would cause UI issues.
Use widget to allow researchers to search for and add their ORCID to the metadata. This widget is being implemented in the new version of the DMPTool and should be easily added to the Dash interface. What this looks like in "My Profile" of DMPTool:
