Organizational affiliations now part of ORCID record
Dear Colleagues,
Latest News from ORCID! Organizational affiliations now part of ORCID record http://orcid.org/blog/2013/12/09/organizational-affiliations-now-part-orcid-record Some publishers will start asking for an ORCID iD (a unique perpetual author identifier) in early 2014.
What is ORCID?
ORCID(Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is an open, non-profit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. ORCID is unique in its ability to reach across disciplines, research sectors and national boundaries. It is a hub that connects researchers and research through the embedding of ORCID identifiers in key workflows, such as research profile maintenance, manuscript submissions, grant applications, and patent applications.
