The ORCID integration into DSpace and DSpace-CRIS

PIDs like ORCID or DOI can be considered as the probably most important pillars to empower global progress to repository systems. Today any repository software should have a working ORCID integration to help the users to distinguish persons on a global level and another persistent identifier to address publications. The well-known repository software DSpace has a working integration of ORCID, which has been introduced in DSpace 7.3 (June 2022). But even in the currently latest version DSpace 7.6 it's still not complete.DSpace-CRIS is a software, which is very much tied to DSpace, but it's a standalone software and an institution has to choose whether to use DSpace or DSpace-CRIS. 

DSpace-CRIS is maintained and developed by 4Science and is containing a complete ORCID integration for a long time. Hamburg University of Technology recently conducted a project in cooperation with 4Science, which was funded by ORCID in context of the Global Participation Fund. The project had the goal to improve the login process against ORCID for DSpace-CRIS. This poster will illustrate the ORCID integrations of DSpace and DSpace-CRIS, focusing on the results of the login improvement project.
