ORCiD functionality in OMP 3.5

Software Support Open Monograph Press
1

Dear all,

We are currently in the process of upgrading to the OMP 3.5 and I was testing the ORCiD functionality to ask for a members’ production API key.

The connection of an author via the sandbox works well, like in OJS, and when I tried to publish a book, the publication page in OMP will reveal the ORCiD link of the author. But, although the sandbox key is authorized to write in the ORCiD profile of the author, the sandbox account did not reveal the metadata of a new published book. Has anyone tried the new functionality in OMP?

Steps to reproduce in a test instance of OMP:

  • Create a sandbox account in ORCiD (mailinator address)
  • Invite the user with the email address, or the orcid, to the role of author
  • Connect the ORCiD account by clicking the button in the email sent to the user and register the user in OMP
  • The user submits a manuscript in OMP
  • The editors accept the manuscript and publish it
  • Verify if the metadata of the manuscript reaches the ORCiD profile of the user

All the best and thanks for all the help.

In connection with this question I would also like to ask if it is possible to use the same ORCiD API key for both applications OJS and OMP, since it is the same hosting institution and the functionality seems to be implemented in the shared library (pkp-lib).

Best,
Joao

Hi @jpmmartins

I use orcid id functions in settings → user settings, and the links in orcid id authorization request email runs well in OMP v3.5.0-5

The required thing is that, you generate a secret key via developer tools of ORCID account, enter appilcation url, and redirect uris.
The application url is a single address whereas redirect uris are multiple.
At that point, I can’t estimate whether you can use the same client secret for multiple websites (OMP or OJS, it doesn’t matter) because I disabled ORCID functionality in all of our journals because it started to create a situation that restricted editorial freedom.
