Persistent identifiers can improve provenance and attribution and encourage sharing of research results
Abstract
ORCID is an organization that provides a registry of unique and persistent identifiers for researchers. In the publishing community, ORCID identifiers are used for authors and reviewers and enable persistent and trusted digital connections between researchers and their work. This article provides an overview of the uptake of ORCID identifiers and how they are being used to clarify author attribution and improve provenance.
