At NC State University Libraries we provide an API which is used by the directories of some colleges and departments: https://ci.lib.ncsu.edu/directories Our campus has distributed directories so not all of the publications lists will look the same. They all use some version of a WordPress plugin which consumes the Libraries' API. This plugin is developed and maintained by University Communications and College of Engineering IT. We have been harvesting publications for those with an NC State affiliation for 12+ years. Recently we rewrote that application to focus on encouraging ORCID adoption and providing related services. We call this application the Citation Index: https://ci.lib.ncsu.edu In the Citation Index researchers can link their ORCID iD with their campus identity and then take advantage of various services. We encourage faculty to use their ORCID iD when they publish, but that only helps with learning about the publications in the future. The keystone service is where we take a CV and fill in gaps in their Citation Index record. From there we can then fill gaps (or as is often the case add the first information) to ORCID records via ORCID's API. We're a member of the ORCID US Community through a partnership between the Libraries and the Office of Research & Innovation. https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/orcid-us.aspx Our first use cases presented to faculty included getting their directory pages updated. Since then we've been asked about other reuses of this data. We're working with academic and administrative units to make publications data available to various faculty activity reporting systems. And the advantage of syncing publications to ORCID is reuse of the data in hundreds of other systems. For instance we're collaborating with research administrators on improving ORCID records to be ready for completing biosketches. NSF will be changing its biosketch format soon and the one system which creates the new format is SciENcv (maintained by the NIH). We encourage users to start with the Citation Index in order to get their ORCID record ready. https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/sciencv-for-biosketches If you're interested in learning more about any of this I'd be happy to set up a Zoom call.
