Dear all,

We are using crossref to update a publication list on a research group webpage - by searching for publications by members ORCiDs. That generally works beautifully, yet there are some ommissions that are hard to explain.

For example, this query only returns one publication:  
[https://api.crossref.org/works?filter=orcid:0000-0002-0964-7068](https://api.crossref.org/works?filter=orcid:0000-0002-0964-7068)

even though the ORCiD is included in other crossref entries, like this one:  
[https://api.crossref.org/works/10.1111/joop.12539](https://api.crossref.org/works/10.1111/joop.12539)

Is there any way to search for ORCiDs more comprehensively? Or what is the issue here?

Hello @lukasW ,

Thanks for your message. We currently have a bug that is preventing all metadata records from being returned when filtering by ORCID iD. We should be returning DOI `10.1111/joop.12539` in the query results for [https://api.crossref.org/works?filter=orcid:0000-0002-0964-7068](https://api.crossref.org/works?filter=orcid:0000-0002-0964-7068).

I have added this example to the internal ticket that our technical team is using to track this work.

-Isaac

Hello @lukasW ,

We have fixed this bug and now the query is returning all works that include the ORCID iD 0000-0002-0964-7068 as you can see here: [https://api.crossref.org/works?filter=orcid:0000-0002-0964-7068](https://api.crossref.org/works?filter=orcid:0000-0002-0964-7068)

Warm regards,  
Isaac
