ZORA

Table of contents

Description

The component "ZORA" allows the inclusion of publications listed in the Zurich Open Repository and Archive (ZORA). These lists are generated dynamically, i.e. they reflect the current content of ZORA.

Creation

  1. Click on "New Content Component" in the "Content" area.
  2. Select "ZORA" and confirm with "Next".

The following window is displayed:

You can search for publications by the name or the ORCID (see box below) of an author. (Entering both fields at the same time does not make sense.) For "Name", enter the name exactly as it is given in ZORA (as a rule, this is "Surname, Initial". Ex: Einstein, A). You will find the list of authors in ZORA under Creators/Editors.

Alternatively, you can display all publications in a ZORA collection (see box below). These two search options can also be combined. In this case, the result sets are AND-linked: The search setting "Name: Gapp ” alone result to eleven hits, but in combination with the "Collection" 10242 only nine.
In the Collection field, you can still use the old (5-digit) Collection ID as well as the new UUID of the collection.

The selected operator determines the type of linkage of the subsequent "Free input" field with the search result defined by the preceding fields.

Free entry (Freie Eingabe)

The “Free entry” is combined with the entries in the first three fields. (However, only one of these fields may be filled in!) Select the appropriate combination operator. (If “OR” is selected, the first three fields may also be left blank).

The ZORA fields must be addressed in the specific notation described below. Please note the changes that have resulted from the migration from ZORA to DSpace on Sept. 25:

  • (Author) AU=Grapp,Frederik (no space between surname and first name!)
  • (Collection)  As of September 2025, the Collection ID is now 36 characters long.
    • Example: CC=accd1827-bb22-4ddd-a46a-9dbd19f402e4
    • Previously, the ID was 5 characters long. It still works because it references the new ID in Zora.
    • Example of old Collection ID: CC=10039
  • (Eprint-Id) EPID=138132
  • NEW: (DSpace-Id) DPID=87f0d1da-f545-4e00-ba2f-ea356165295a
  • (Publisher/Editor) ED=Horn,Anita (no space between surname and first name!)
  • (Type) TY=article (other types: book_section, conference_item, monograph, dissertation, habilitation, newspaper_article, edited_scientific_work, working_paper, published_research_report, scientific_publication_in_electronic_form)
  • (Subtype) STY=original (or else: STY=further)
  • (Publication Year) PY=2016 (Format: YYYY, -YYYY (to), YYYY- (from) or YYYY-YYYY)
  • (Chair/Subject) CS=sSinologie0 (or: CS=cBehr0)
  •  Keyword) KW=infection

Several entries are possible. Each of them must be in a separate line. Entries for the same attribute contribute cumulatively to the result. Entries for different attributes are AND-linked (this is made clear in the Complex scenarios).

The DSpace ID is the UUID of a publication. You can find it in the URL of the individual entry when you call up this publication in ZORA (compare it with the DSpace ID above):
https://www.zora.uzh.ch/entities/publication/87f0d1da-f545-4e00-ba2f-ea356165295a

The remaining settings concern the display of the hit list. They are largely self-explanatory. Sorting also provides a more attractive display (PNG, 130 KB) of the search result. "Link Text" moves the link to the end of the citations. (By default, the publication titles link to the ZORA entry).

Additional Information

What is ZORA?

The "Zurich Open Repository and Archive" (ZORA) offers worldwide free access to scientific publications of the University of Zurich.

ORCID-iD

The ORCID-iD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is used to uniquely identify scientific authors. It is recommended that all authors register an ORCID-iD at orcid.org and have it entered into ZORA. For further questions, please contact oa@ub.uzh.ch.

 

Collection Id

ZORA-Collection

A collection refers to the collection of publications from an institute, center, or clinic. The complete list can be found under Communities & Collections. Click through to your desired collection (you will know you have reached it when the link is labeled “Publications of ...”). Now click on the collection—its uuid is the long string of numbers after “collections/” in the address bar of your web browser.
