Upgrade StorageORCID workflow with Zotero
Hi all,
As far as I understand, there is no way to connect Zotero to ORCID (via the Zotero Connector), nor to follow some ORCID profiles via RSS (the https://github.com/ORCID-EU-Labs/orcid-feed project seems to be dead).
There is an ORCID API, but it is intended for organizations, and it requires the ability to manage APIs.
**What I need**:
As a Research Center Coordinator, following our university's policies, we have asked our 80+ members to create and maintain their ORCID profile, which will henceforth be the place for our admins to check new publications, funding, and so on.
We need to keep our reports up to date. Our first idea was to use the Zotero Connector and our Zotero group library to keep everything updated. Not possible.
RSS feeds, at least…? Nope.
So it seems that ORCID may be "open," but remains a one-way data collection system (except through the API): there is no easy way to follow profile activity and update our Zotero group library accordingly.
= Am I wrong? Has anyone managed to build a workflow from ORCID to Zotero?
