2. What is an ORCID ID?
(Open Researcher and Contributor ID)
is a nonproprietary alphanumeric code to
uniquely identify scientific and
other academic authors and contributors.

3. ORCID addresses or solve the problem that a
particular author's contributions to any online
scientific publications can be hard to recognize as
most personal names are not unique, they can change
(such as with marriage), have cultural differences in
name order, contain inconsistent use of first-name
abbreviations and employ different writing systems. In
other words, it is similar to DNA, barcode, RFID, or
unique number of authors in the online world of
publishing.

4. ORCID provides a persistent or
unique identity for
humans(authors), similar to that
created for content-related entities
on digital networks by digital object
identifiers (DOI).
