ORCID Public Data File Now Available
One year after launching the ORCID Registry, we are excited to be releasing our first Public Data File. This file contains a snapshot of all public data in the ORCID Registry associated with an ORCID record that was created or claimed by an individual. We publish this file once per year under a Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal public domain dedication. This means that, to the extent possible under law, ORCID has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to the Public Data File.

The Public Data File is available under a Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal public domain dedication. This means that ORCID makes no copyright, related or neighboring rights claims to the aggregated data. Consistent with this broad waiver, ORCID does not impose any conditions on access to and use of the Public Data File. However, we remind you that ORCID can only waive rights that it owns; therefore, (i) the waiver does not apply to resources that are listed by links in an ORCID record, for example, journal articles, and (ii) the underlying data elements remain subject to any rights of the individuals featured, including rights of privacy and publicity. In respect of those individuals and in order to maximize the usefulness of this resource for the entire research and scholarly communications community, we request that you follow these community norms in using the Public Data File.
