NobleID for Authors

Persistent, Verifiable, Open — Get citable identifiers for your research

What you get

A short, citable ID with the full mint date:

Root (latest): ark:/nobleid/20092025/7X9K2Q → https://nobleid.org/20092025/7X9K2Q

Pinned version: ark:/nobleid/20092025/7X9K2Q:v2 → https://nobleid.org/20092025/7X9K2Q:v2

• Verifiable provenance: a signed receipt (hashes + timestamps)
• Version history that keeps older citations valid
• Persistent resolution with metadata in multiple formats

How to mint (2 paths)

1. Web form

Paste metadata, click Generate NobleID.

2. API

curl -X POST https://api.nobleid.org/api/v1/nobleid/generate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Climate impacts in 2025",
    "authors": ["A. Researcher","B. Collaborator"],
    "type": "paper",
    "abstract": "Short abstract...",
    "orcid": "0000-0002-1825-0097",

  }'

How to cite

Researcher, A. & Collaborator, B. (2025).
Climate impacts in 2025. NobleID:
ark:/nobleid/20092025/7X9K2Q (v2).
https://nobleid.org/20092025/7X9K2Q:v2

(Resolver also provides CSL-JSON, BibTeX, RIS.)

How versions work

Your root ID always points to the latest. Old versions remain citable.

To publish an update:

curl -X POST https://api.nobleid.org/api/v1/nobleid/work/20092025%2F7X9K2Q/versions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "change_notes": "Revised methods and new figure" }'

This will return a new version PID like ark:/nobleid/20092025/7X9K2Q:v2.

Claim your authorship (optional, recommended)

1. Create your NobleID-P person record (email/OIDC sign-in)
2. Claim the work to show your name with a verified badge on the resolver page
3. You can link ORCID later if you like (not required)

Good practice

• Put the short link (https://nobleid.org/20092025/7X9K2Q) in your slides, CV, and profile bios
• If hosted on a publisher site, ask them to embed the Update-Checker badge so readers always see the latest
