Mode

mode

Optional

What the run does. 'auto' (default) infers from your input. 'search' = name/keyword/affiliation discovery. 'lookup' = resolve specific ORCID iDs. 'institutionMap' = map one organization. 'institutionComparison' = compare several institutions. 'expertDiscovery' / 'reviewerDiscovery' / 'collaboratorDiscovery' = rank a field's researchers for a purpose (proxy from ORCID profile signals, not citation impact). 'fieldRadar' = track a research field's researcher population over scheduled runs. 'talentMovement' = track who joined/left an institution over scheduled runs.

Type:string

Default:auto

Options:

autosearchlookupinstitutionMapinstitutionComparisonexpertDiscoveryreviewerDiscoverycollaboratorDiscoveryfieldRadartalentMovement

Search Query

query

Optional

Free-text search query. Use Lucene syntax for advanced searches (e.g., 'family-name:Einstein AND affiliation-org-name:Princeton'). If provided, overrides individual filters below.

Type:string

Default:machine learning

Family Name (Last Name)

familyName

Optional

Filter by researcher's last name.

Type:string

Default:

Given Names (First Name)

givenNames

Optional

Filter by researcher's first name.

Type:string

Default:

Affiliation

affiliation

Optional

Filter by organization affiliation (e.g., 'MIT', 'Harvard University').

Type:string

Default:

Research Keyword

keyword

Optional

Filter by research keyword (e.g., 'machine learning', 'genomics').

Type:string

Default:

Institution (map / talent-movement mode)

institution

Optional

Map one organization's ORCID footprint. Returns every matching researcher plus an institution-map summary record (departments, top keywords, career-stage distribution, active researchers, external-ID coverage, top funders) aggregated over the researchers analyzed this run. With mode=talentMovement + a watchlist, also tracks who joined/left over scheduled runs.

Type:string

Default:

Institutions (comparison mode)

institutions

Optional

Compare several organizations side by side (e.g. ['MIT', 'Stanford', 'Oxford']). Emits an institution-comparison record with per-institution researcher counts, active researchers, average completeness, external-ID coverage, career-stage mix and top keywords/funders. Up to 6 institutions per run.

Type:array

Max. items:6

Default:

[]

Seed ORCID iD (collaborator discovery)

seedOrcidId

Optional

For mode=collaboratorDiscovery: rank the searched pool by similarity to this researcher (shared keywords, affiliations, external-ID systems, career stage).

Type:string

Default:

Conflict affiliations (reviewer discovery)

conflictAffiliations

Optional

For mode=reviewerDiscovery: organizations to flag as a conflict of interest. A candidate affiliated with any of these is marked conflictRisk=high. Without this, conflictRisk is 'unknown' (the actor cannot infer a conflict it has no target to check against).

Type:array

Max. items:50

Default:

[]

ORCID iDs (direct lookup)

orcidIds

Optional

Look up specific researchers directly by ORCID iD (e.g. '0000-0002-1825-0097'), skipping search. When set, this takes priority over the search filters. Best when you already have the iDs and want full profiles.

Type:array

Max. items:100

Default:

[]

Names (batch search)

names

Optional

Search several researchers by name in one run (e.g. ['Geoffrey Hinton', 'Yann LeCun']). Each name is searched separately and the results are merged and deduplicated.

Type:array

Max. items:50

Default:

[]

Deduplicate by ORCID iD

dedupe

Optional

Remove duplicate researchers when the same ORCID iD is matched by more than one name or filter. On by default.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Compute researcher similarity

includeSimilarity

Optional

When on (and the run returns 2+ researchers), emit a similarity record linking each researcher to the most similar others in this run's results, scored on shared keywords, affiliations, external-ID systems and career stage. Computed over this run's cohort, not all of ORCID. Useful for expert / collaborator / reviewer discovery.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Build researcher relationship graph

includeGraph

Optional

When on (and the run returns 2+ researchers), emit a graph record (nodes + weighted edges) of relationships between the researchers in this run's results, inferred from shared affiliations, keywords, external-ID systems and career stage. Neo4j / Cytoscape ready. Cohort-scoped, not all of ORCID.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Fetch Publications

fetchWorks

Optional

If enabled, fetches the list of publications for each researcher. This makes additional API calls per result.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max Results

maxResults

Optional

Maximum number of researcher profiles to return (1-100).

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:100

Default:25

Output Detail

outputProfile

Optional

How much per-researcher detail to return. 'minimal' = identity confidence + completeness + recommended action + badges + a one-line summary (best for disambiguation and agent routing). 'standard' = adds career, activity, affiliations, record sections, identity links, works quality and data gaps. 'full' = everything including the publications list and the scoring component breakdowns. 'flatCsv' = one flat row per researcher (no nested objects), best for Excel / Google Sheets export.

Type:string

Default:standard

Options:

minimalstandardfullflatCsv

Watchlist Name (monitoring)

watchlistName

Optional

Optional. Set a name to monitor these researchers over time. The actor stores a snapshot per ORCID iD under this watchlist and, on the next run with the same name, flags each profile NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED with the change in works count and affiliations. Leave blank for a one-off search. The first run with a new name is a baseline (every profile is NEW).

Type:string
