The highly anticipated Indonesia ORCiD OJS User Community meeting was held on December 13th (PST) / 14th (WIB), 2023. The recap and recording is now available.
The Public Knowledge Project’s most widely used software, Open Journal Systems (OJS), is often used for open access publishing, and is interoperable with ORCID. The acronym “ORCID” stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID. However, ORCID provides 3 main services:
- ORCID iD – a unique persistent identifier;
- ORCID record – a digital profile connected to the ORCID iD;
- ORCID APIs – Application Programming Interfaces and communities of practices enabling interoperability between ORCID records and member organizations.
In a 2022 study analyzing 25,671 journals not typically represented in journal counts, Web of Science, or Scopus, researchers found that Indonesia led the way with 11,535 journals using OJS (45%). In other words, Indonesia accounts for PKP’s largest OJS user community.
Active journals are on the Y axis in increments of 500. Years are on the X axis in increments of 3 years, from 2009 to 2021. Source: Alperin, J. P. (2023). Indonesia: The largest national OJS community in the world. Presented at “Invite to Indonesia ORCID OJS User Community” (webinar).
ORCID and PKP in Indonesia
According to Brian Minihan, who joined this event on behalf of ORCID Engagement, OJS is the most popular integration for ORCID member organizations, with 150 OJS instances using ORCID Member API. Further, 104,606 records are connected through OJS, with 24,295 records updated by OJS. These figures were followed by a snapshot of real world applications.
The community in Indonesia ranks #15 out of 144,821 ORCiD records, with 258,714 affiliations in ORCiD records. In addition to these high numbers of records and affiliations, details were provided about the top 16 affiliations in ORCID records for Indonesia.
The top 3 affiliations are Universitas Gadjah Mada (8,312 researchers; 10,481 affiliations), Universitas Indonesia (4,965 researchers; 6,457 affiliations), and Institut Teknologi Bandung (4,781 researchers; 6,385 affiliations). These figures highlight the importance of ORCID in an Indonesian context and the focus of these communities on opening access to and reach of scholarly contributions.
On August 17th, 2023, ORCID announced its second round of Global Participation Fund (GPF) Awardees. The GPF provides grants under (1) Community Development and Outreach, and (2) Technical Integration. As an awardee of ORCID’s GPF, PKP is now able to support Indonesian scholarly publishing communities to build ORCID Communities of Practice, as detailed in this PKP press release. The Invite to the Indonesia ORCID OJS User Community event was supported by the GPF.
