Ah, thank you. Of course it's the citations fouling things up...

Well.... one of the big problems is the developers don’t really understand how
citations are structured, how the data move around, and what needs to be shown to
be a correct/complete citation and how that can vary by genre of publication. Some
of the records we're getting from ORCID have a citation field that's BibTeX but
others you have to create a citation from the various elements (like contributors
> authors). I feel like some off the shelf product or even, say, an open source
content management system with a bibliographic package/library/add-on would
already know how to format/display citations with these standard fields and would
further allow visitors to export or follow or otherwise interact. We're also
seeing some incomplete records in ORCID and I'm chasing some of that now. I
believe Publons is exporting incomplete records - Clarivate is chasing that for me
now.
A bit of tension was that the authors were being re-ordered. The developer did
not understand why this mattered, but of course it was very important to the
scientists (which I would have predicted). I think a system that was built by
people who understood this data would already know this.

Thanks Christina,
Anything we put together would be in-house, so your phrase, "really, really,
really," draws my attention. What kind of minefield am I stepping into?

We're live with using the ORCID API to populate. I really, really,
really wish we had just used a COTs solution. This was built
internally. https://civspace.jhuapl.edu/Our-Staff/index.php (I say we
but they called me in intermittently so I had little input on those
decisions)
We just went live, though, so some might still have ResearcherID data.

We would also be very interested, even if you're not health/medical.
Thanks!

Hello,
My library is looking at platforms for faculty publication profiles.
If you’re working at health sciences or medical library that uses an
API to feed publications into faculty profiles, I would love to hear from you.
Please email me directly at [email protected].
Thank you,
Elizabeth Huggins
