Contributor Identifiers

Contributor identifiers for ORCiD and other networks, when provided, should be tagged in TF JATS contributor metadata.

Contributor identifiers should be captured using the <contrib-id> element within the <contrib> element, using an appropriate contrib-id-type attribute value.

ORCİD

Taylor & Francis participates in ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), which is a registry of unique researcher identifiers that links research interests, activities and publications to researchers. When an ORCID ID is provided for a contributor it should be included in TF JATS article XML. For deliveries to CATS suppliers must:

Verify ORCID IDs against the ORCID database if extracting ORCID IDs from any source other than CATS XML (such as manuscript text, proof corrections, or instructions from production editors).
Ensure absolute consistency between TF JATS article XML, PDF, and CATS XML files at all stages when making deliveries to CATS.

ORCIDs may be verified manually or automatically via a public API, details of which are available at this URL. A simple manual verification can be achieved by appending the full ORCID to the base URL "http://orcid.org/" , e.g. http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8343-8910. A valid ORCID will return an ORCID profile page.

Valid ORCID IDs should be tagged as within <contrib> as <contrib-id contrib-id-type="orcid">. For example:

<contrib contrib-type="author">
    <contrib-id contrib-id-type="orcid">0000-0002-1825-0097</contrib-id>
    <name>
        <surname>Carberry</surname>
        <given-names>Josiah</given-names>
    </name>
    <xref ref-type="aff" rid="AF0001"/>
    <xref ref-type="corresp" rid="AN0001"/>
</contrib>

Twitter

Capture the Twitter handle using a <contrib-id> element with contrib-id-type attribute value “twitter”. For example:

<contrib-id contrib-id-type="twitter">BillGates</contrib-id>

The Twitter handle may be formatted for display using the Twitter icon and the @ symbol. For example:

@BillGates

The Twitter handle may be hyperlinked by creating a URL with the base URL “https://twitter.com/” and the handle. For example:

https://twitter.com/BillGates

Capture the LinkedIn handle using a <contrib-id> element with contrib-id-type attribute value “linkedin”. For example:

<contrib-id contrib-id-type="linkedin">williamhgates</contrib-id>

The LinkedIn handle may be formatted for display using the LinkedIn icon. For example:

williamhgates

The LinkedIn handle may be hyperlinked by creating a URL with the base URL “https://www.linkedin.com/in/”. For example:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhgates
