This presentation will discuss two new features in EPrints: the ability to extract ORCID® Identifiers from the data contained in a DOI import and the ability to discover and import new works using the ORCID Identifier via ORCID API. It is now possible to receive ORCID Identifiers as part of the data returned from CrossRef using a DOI. The public ORCID API allows applications to use the ORCID Identifier to retrieve biographic data about a given contributor plus obtain a list of works that they have contributed to. The data contained in the list of works may contain citation and external identifier data. If such data is found then this can be used as the source for a new import into the repository. The work to be presented is based upon the public ORCID API. The differences between the public API and the member API will also be discussed.
