Exploring Research Collaboration Through Connected PIDs: ORCID & Crossref Data Visualization Using R and Tableau

Abstract

​The ORCID US Community partnered with the Drexel University LEADING program to create a set of resources for visualizing publication collaboration activity based on public data from researchers’ ORCID records and Crossref DOI publication metadata. The resources include an R script that can be used to retrieve information about publishing collaborations between researchers at a home organization and other organizations across the globe. The resulting dataset can be imported into a Tableau Public dashboard template, to create a data visualization that can be shared with multiple stakeholders to emphasize how PIDs can be used to visualize researcher activity and impact.
