Manage visibility and privacy of content in ORCID
When you create your ORCID ID you are prompted to select a default privacy level for new research activities, which is applied to content exported from Pure to ORCID.
In addition to this, various actions in Pure and ORCID can have consequences for the visibility of items in ORCID.
| Location | Action | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| ORCID | Edit the privacy settings of individual items | Settings are respected with subsequent exports from Pure. |
| ORCID + Pure | New content in Pure duplicates content already in ORCID | ORCID groups these items so you do not see two items in ORCID. |
| ORCID + Pure | Change visibility in ORCID to restricted and then change visibility in Pure to anything other than Public. | The item cannot be removed from ORCID as Pure cannot access items with restricted visibility. |
| ORCID | Delete content |
If you delete the item in ORCID but not in Pure, the item will re-appear in ORCID the next time an export from Pure is performed. The only way to prevent certain items from Pure appearing in ORCID is to change the visibility of the items to restricted from within ORCID. If you want to truly delete the content from ORCID, delete the content in ORCID then change the visibility in Pure to anything other than Public. |
| ORCID | Delete an ID from another system | If you delete an ID in ORCID from another system, for example a Scopus author ID, it will reappear the next time content is exported from Pure to ORCID. |
Revoke permissions for Pure to export to ORCID
Note
If you revoke permissions, the next time that Pure tries to export content to your ORCID ID it will fail. After this failure, Pure will never export to your ORCID ID again until you re-authorize this process.
- Log into your ORCID account.
- Navigate to the Account settings page.
- In the Trusted organizations section, click the trashcan icon (Revoke access) in the table row for Pure.
The next time an export is attempted (either ‘on-demand’ or automatically via a system Job), Pure will attempt the export but will be informed by ORCID that the authorization has been revoked. Pure will not attempt export again unless the User re-authorizes the export of content from Pure to ORCID.
