| Oct 27, 2015 at 13:13 | comment | added | Andrew is gone | @yashar The benefit is what it always was - identification. It's not intended to be an absolute legal guarantee of identity, just a way to easily distinguish two people with similar names. | |
| Oct 26, 2015 at 21:35 | comment | added | pintoch | @AndreasBlass OK, but still it there are differences between the organization running ORCID ("ORCID"), a profile on that system ("ORCID record"), and its identifier ("ORCID iD"). | |
| Oct 26, 2015 at 21:31 | comment | added | Andreas Blass | @pintoch I was aware that ORCID itself does what I'm complaining about, but I decided to complain anyway. "PIN number" isn't too redundant phonetically either, but I complain about that too. | |
| Oct 26, 2015 at 21:21 | comment | added | pintoch | @AndreasBlass from orcid.org: "you may only register for an ORCID iD for yourself". So, writing "ORCID iD" is correct. "ORCID" should be pronounced like "orchid", the flower, so it's not too redundant phonetically speaking. | |

| Oct 26, 2015 at 18:00 | comment | added | MOON | @Andrew What would it be the benefit of ORCID then? | |
| Oct 26, 2015 at 16:33 | comment | added | Andrew is gone | @yashar Requiring ORCIDs in the source paper would make it impossible to build a complete record for anyone who began publishing before this was standard. Yes, this means you can indeed cheat by claiming other people's papers - the system is not intended to guard against abusive behaviour. | |

ORCID ID -> ORCID

| Oct 16, 2015 at 9:52 | comment | added | MOON | @AleksandrBlekh. How doe this uniquely identifies the author? If I put another person's article in my profile, who has the same name as I have, then how can the ORCID know I am cheating? ORCID ID must be in the article itself or linked to the article to make this identification possible. Maybe, when I add an article, ORCID asks the publisher for the ORCID ID authors sent during papaer submission and then compare that with the ORCID ID of the person trying to put the article in the profile. | |
| Oct 16, 2015 at 8:58 | comment | added | Andreas Blass | "ORCID ID" is one more item in the list that contains "AC current", "ICBM missile," "ATM machine", and "PIN number". | |
| Oct 16, 2015 at 7:45 | comment | added | semi-extrinsic | I've recently seen journals starting to put the ORCID in the actual papers. Here's an example pdf. | |
| Oct 15, 2015 at 23:09 | comment | added | Aleksandr Blekh | Papers, authored and co-authored by a person, are supposed to be listed (currently, AFAIK, manually) in the relevant section(s) of the person's ORCID profile, which uniquely identifies researcher via the corresponding ORCID ID. That one-way linkage, while not ideal, is, at least, better than no linkage at all. | |
| Oct 15, 2015 at 22:36 | comment | added | MOON | If it does not appear in the article, then how the article written by the person is linked to this ID? If it would appear in the article then by searching it people could have easily find the profile of the author. | |
| Oct 15, 2015 at 22:31 | comment | added | Aleksandr Blekh | I don't remember seeing ORCID ID in research papers, but I have seen it in several CVs. Perhaps, the reason is that journals' style guides do not allow or support that. In regard to ORCID ID's use, you can use just a numeric form or generate a QR code for CV, papers, poster labels, website and other "marketing" purposes. | |
