<div dir="ltr">Thanks very much. <div><br></div><div>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. <div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>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: <<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_research_networking_tools_and_research_profiling_systems">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_research_networking_tools_and_research_profiling_systems</a>>. </div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes.</div><div><br></div><div>Arun </div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 2:49 PM, Vignoli Michela <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Michela.Vignoli@ait.ac.at" target="_blank">Michela.Vignoli@ait.ac.at</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Thomas and all,<br>
<br>
Are there good alternatives to ORCID? And is there a paper or something highlighting the pros and cons for using the one or the other?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your input!<br>
