Tools

Seven tools organized around three workflows — author disambiguation, researcher profiling, and cross-server identifier chaining:

Tool	Description
orcid_search_researchers	Search the ORCID registry using structured field params (name, affiliation, keyword, ROR ID, DOI, PMID). All params are ANDed into a Solr query against the expanded-search endpoint, returning ORCID iDs with inline name and institution data.
orcid_get_profile	Fetch a researcher's public profile: name, biography, keywords, researcher URLs, and external identifiers (Scopus Author ID, ResearcherID, Loop, etc.).
orcid_get_works	Retrieve works (publications, datasets, software, preprints) for a researcher. Returns titles, types, publication dates, journal names, and all external identifiers — DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs — ready for chaining to Crossref, PubMed, or arXiv servers.
orcid_get_affiliations	Fetch affiliation records for a researcher. Accepts a types list to filter which sections to return: employment, education, invited-positions, distinctions, memberships, qualifications, services, or all.
orcid_get_funding	Fetch funding records: grants, contracts, awards, and salary awards, with funder names, grant numbers, and funding periods.
orcid_get_peer_reviews	Fetch peer review activity: convening organizations, reviewer role, review type, completion dates, and ISSN-keyed group identifiers.
orcid_resolve_researcher	Disambiguate an ambiguous author name to a verified ORCID iD. Returns a ranked list of up to 5 candidates with transparent signals: name match type, institution overlap, and whether a DOI or PMID anchor was used.

orcid_search_researchers

Search the ORCID registry with structured field parameters mapped to Solr field queries.

• Structured params — given_name, family_name, affiliation, keyword, ror_id, doi, pmid — are ANDed into a Solr query automatically
• doi and pmid translate to doi-self and pmid-self field queries: "who has linked this work to their ORCID record?"
• query appends raw Solr to the generated clause for advanced use
• ror_id values (full URLs like https://ror.org/00f54p054) are quoted internally to handle Solr's colon parsing
• Returns expanded-search results with inline name and institution data — no follow-up profile fetch needed for basic discovery
• Use this for precise field-anchored lookups; use orcid_resolve_researcher for ambiguous names needing ranked disambiguation
