Examples
Worked examples
- Is an instance
A researcher marking a list of preprints public but a record of an unfunded grant application private.
- Is an instance
An institution receiving 'limited' employment dates that are not exposed on the public profile.
Counter-examples
Looks similar, but isn't
- Not an instance
A publication being marked 'embargoed' in a repository is a different visibility mechanism, not an ORCID record permission.
- Not an instance
Marking a journal article 'open access' is unrelated to ORCID visibility levels.
Editorial commentary
ORCID’s design principle is that the researcher controls the disclosure of their own data. ‘Public’ items are returned through the Public API and shown on the public profile page. ‘Limited’ items are returned only to trusted parties (organisations or individuals to whom the researcher has explicitly granted a scope). ‘Private’ items are visible only to the iD holder. Default visibility for new items defaults to the holder’s account-level preference but is editable per item.
