<p><strong>Researcher Profiles for ORCID</strong> connects your WordPress site to the <a href="https://pub.orcid.org/v3.0" rel="nofollow ugc">ORCID Public API v3.0</a> to automatically fetch and locally cache academic researcher profiles — including their publications, employment history and education — and expose them anywhere on your site via simple shortcodes.</p>
<p>No authentication token is required for publicly visible ORCID records.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>You register one or more researchers by ORCID iD in the admin panel.</li>
<li>The plugin fetches their profile from the ORCID Public API and stores everything in custom database tables.</li>
<li>WordPress Cron automatically refreshes the data on a configurable schedule.</li>
<li>Shortcodes read from the local database — <strong>zero live API calls on page load</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>[rporcid_works orcid_id="0000-0002-1825-0097"]</code> — list all works for a researcher</li>
<li><code>[rporcid_works orcid_id="0000-0002-1825-0097" type="journal-article" limit="10"]</code> — filtered works</li>
<li><code>[rporcid_profile orcid_id="0000-0002-1825-0097"]</code> — full profile card (bio + employment + education + works)</li>
<li><code>[rporcid_researcher_list]</code> — responsive grid of all registered researchers</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Researcher management table in the WordPress admin</li>
<li>Manual sync per researcher or bulk sync all</li>
<li>Configurable auto-sync interval (hourly, twice daily, daily, weekly)</li>
<li>Sync log with status and error details</li>
<li>Works grouped by year with a client-side type filter (no page reload)</li>
<li>Template override support — copy views to <code>yourtheme/researcher-profiles-for-orcid/</code></li>
<li>BEM CSS classes for easy styling</li>
<li>Developer action/filter hooks</li>
<li>Full i18n support — ships with <code>es_ES</code> and <code>es_MX</code> translations</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — drops all custom tables and options</li>
</ul>
<h4>External Services</h4>
<p>This plugin makes HTTP requests to the <strong>ORCID Public API</strong> (<code>https://pub.orcid.org/v3.0</code>) to retrieve researcher profile data. Requests are made only when an admin triggers a manual sync or when WordPress Cron fires an automatic sync — <strong>never on front-end page load</strong>.</p>
<p>By using this plugin you agree to the <a href="https://info.orcid.org/public-data-file-use-policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">ORCID Public Data File Terms of Use</a> and the <a href="https://info.orcid.org/public-client-terms-of-service/" rel="nofollow ugc">ORCID Terms of Service</a>.</p>
<p>No data is sent to any server other than <code>pub.orcid.org</code>.</p>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store or transmit any personal data about your website visitors. It only stores publicly available researcher profile data retrieved from ORCID (name, biography, works, employment, education) in your own database.</p>
