IdRef - Identifiers and Repositories for Higher Education and Research
IdRef is a public interface for consulting authority records produced by member institutions of the French higher education and research documentary networks (Sudoc, Calames, Star). IdRef is available for authorized professional users to create/correct/enrich authority records. IdRef also provides a range of freely available services to facilitate data reuse (triplestore data.idref.fr, OAI-PMH repository, APIs).

Open Researcher and Contributor ID
ORCID is an international non-profit organization backed by a diverse community of research organizations, publishers, funders, professional associations, and other actors in the research ecosystem. ORCID provides a registry of unique and persistent identifiers for researchers and authors of scholarly works. ORCID identifiers streamline trustworthy and transparent connections between researchers, their contributions, and their affiliations.

Custom author pages

Authors who wish to do so can create a Cairn.info account to access and edit their public page. They will then be able to:

upload a photo
include links to personal websites and social network profiles
post an introductory text
create public reading lists
activate a contact form via Cairn.info

Permanent access

Whenever a publication is uploaded to the platform, Cairn.info automatically notifies contributing authors via email (as long as a valid address is provided by the publisher). If the author has a verified Cairn.info account (i.e., they have logged in and validated their author page), they will automatically receive permanent access to the full text of the relevant article.

Reprints

For articles with conditional access (and unless otherwise specified by the publisher), each contributor receives an exclusive electronic reprint link for personal use. These links grant free access to the full text of the article, with or without a Cairn.info account, for up to 30 days after publication. This makes it easy for authors to share their work with their professional network.
