However, the 3.1.x version will not receive backported features and bug fixes. Previous versions of the ORCID Profile Plugin have limited functionality.</p> <p>PKP supports the current major version and the previous major version of <a href="https://pkp.sfu.ca/software/ojs/getting-started/download/">OJS</a> and <a href="https://pkp.sfu.ca/software/ops/getting-started/download/">OPS</a> and versions of the ORCID Plugin that are compatible with them. Keeping OJS/OPS and the Plugin up-to-date is recommended.</p> <p>Both OJS and OPS share the same basic platform and therefore the instructions presented in this document apply for both journals using OJS and preprint servers using OPS.</p> <p>The ORCID plugin is not currently available in <a href="https://pkp.sfu.ca/omp/">Open Monograph Press (OMP)</a>. Users of OMP can manually enter their ORCID iD in their user profile under View Profile > Public, but metadata will not be automatically sent from OMP to ORCID, unlike OJS/OPS where metadata can be exchanged if the plugin is configured correctly.</p> <hr> <p>Copyright: Simon Fraser University holds the copyright for work produced by the Public Knowledge Project and has placed its documentation under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img src="https://licensebuttons.net/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" alt="Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International" title="Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International" /></a></p> <div class="book__footer"> <div class="book__improve"> <a href="https://github.com/pkp/pkp-docs/edit/main/orcid/en/README.md"> Edit this page </a> or <a href="https://pkp.sfu.ca/documentation-feedback/"> make a suggestion </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="book__sidebarScreen"></div> <div id="sidebar" class="book__sidebar"> <div class="book__summary"> <h1 id="summary">SUMMARY</h1> <ul> <li><a href=".">Introduction</a></li> <li><a href="./introduction">About the ORCID Plugin</a></li> <li><a href="./installation-setup">Set Up the Plugin</a></li> <li><a href="./using-plugin">Using the Plugin</a></li> <li><a href="./troubleshooting-resources">Troubleshooting & Resources</a></li> <li><a href="./appendix-testing-orcid-sandbox">Appendix: Testing in the ORCID Sandbox</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="book__backToHub"> <span class="fa fa-long-arrow-alt-left" aria-hidden="true"></span> <p>Back to <a href="/">all documentation</a>.</p> </div> <div class="book__spacer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="book__footerWrapper"> <div class="siteFooter"> <nav class="siteFooter__container"> <div class="siteFooter__top"> <div class="siteFooter__nav"> <div class="siteFooter__navHeader"> Contact Us </div> <p>Have a question or suggestion about PKP鈥檚 documentation and user guides?
