In some communities, where national, disciplinary, or
proprietary researcher identifiers are well established and
widely used, ORCID is seen as an ‘extra’ identifier, whose
value is not always apparent. However, ORCID is most
powerful in combination with these other identifier types.
Integrations between ORCID
and other types of researcher
identifiers benefit everyone, by enabling trustworthy
information – validated in one or both systems – to flow
seamlessly across the many online tools and platforms used
by researchers and their organizations.
