Returns work summaries with put-codes, titles, types, publication dates, journal names, and all external identifiers (DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, ISBNs). The first 50 works are returned by default; workCo

ORCID returns no
  • orcid_get_research_resources List research resources associated with an ORCID researcher — compute allocations, equipment access, lab facilities, data resources, and clinical study registrations. This is a newer ORCID section; most researchers have no entries. Returns the resource title, hosting organization, external identifie
  • orcid_resolve_researcher Disambiguate an author name to a verified ORCID iD. Returns ranked candidates (5 by default, up to 20 via the rows parameter) with transparent disambiguation signals: name match type (exact/partial/other-name/none), institution overlap flag, and whether a DOI or PMID anchor was used in the query.
