ORCID
Helikon Labs uses the ORCID Public API to import a user’s research record with their consent and to display the ORCID iD (the 16-digit identifier) on researcher profiles. We are not an ORCID member organization and do not have a bilateral agreement with ORCID, Inc. Our use is governed by ORCID’s public Public API Terms of Service.
ORCID™, the ORCID logo, and the iD logo are trademarks of ORCID, Inc.
Use of the ORCID name or logo in Helikon Labs materials does not imply ORCID’s endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with Helikon Labs. For ORCID’s own brand and display guidelines, see info.orcid.org/brand-guidelines.
OpenAlex
Publication and citation metadata displayed on researcher profiles is sourced from OpenAlex, an open index of scholarly works maintained by OurResearch. The OpenAlex dataset is released under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) Public Domain Dedication and does not require attribution. We credit it here for transparency about where the numbers come from. See openalex.org.
Research Organization Registry (ROR)
Institution records (name, location, relationship graph) are sourced from the Research Organization Registry. ROR identifiers and metadata are dedicated to the public domain under the CC0 license and do not require attribution. Credit here is transparency about the registry we rely on for institution disambiguation. See ror.org.
USPTO and PatentsView
Patent records displayed on researcher profiles and in Discover search come from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), by way of the PatentsView research database. USPTO data is a work of the United States Government and is in the public domain. Credit here is transparency about the source. See data.uspto.gov.

References to ORCID, OpenAlex, ROR, USPTO, PatentsView, and any other third-party source on this site are descriptive: we name these sources so users understand where our data comes from. No endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with Helikon Labs is implied or should be inferred.
