[Open-access] ORCiD and Libraries

[Subbiah Arunachalam]

Thanks very much.

Dr Krichel points out that ORCiD is not OA. The purpose of ORCiD is for
each publication to be attributed to its right authors and not to someone
else with a similar sounding name.

In China there are tens of thousands of authors whose names as rendered in
English will be spelt as W A N G. Some of them may be physicists, others
molecular biologists and some others economists. Same is the case with
people with the name P A R K in Kore and S I N G H in India. ORCiD ensures
each paper is associated with the right author. Is that not a very useful
service?  Also, each author will have all his papers - and only his papers
- assigned to him.

Dr Manjunath refers to the research management tools and asserts that ORCiD
and VIVO put together is still incomplete. I do not get the point. But I
just saw this article in Wikipedia: <
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_research_networking_tools_and_research_profiling_systems
>.
May be Dr Manjunath will find his answer there. ORCiD encompasses
Researcher ID and Scopus author ID in the sense all one needs to use is
ORCiD and it will automatically bring in data from the other two if the
individual instructs it to do so.

Best wishes.
