As part of SAGE Publishing's commitment to ethical, transparent and fair peer review SAGE has signed the ORCID open letter along with other stakeholders. Committing to mandating ORCID in accordance with the best practice for publishers, this step ensures better recognition and accreditation for researchers as well as supporting author and researcher compliance with funding mandates.
Following two trial phases across 2017 and 2018, SAGE will require ORCID IDs from corresponding authors submitting across a large number of journals from winter 2018.
In November, 2015, a group of publishers asked ORCID to help facilitate communications about their plans to require authors to use an ORCID iD, including hosting this open letter explaining their rationale, developing best practices for using iDs in publishing, and maintaining the signatory list. The publishers' goal is to encourage others to join them in supporting the adoption of ORCID. Publishers signing this open letter are committing to requiring ORCID iDs following specific implementation standards.
