IOP Publishing and the American Physical Society (APS) have signed up to the ORCID Open Letter, committing to collecting ORCID iDs for authors submitting to their journals following stated best practices.
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) claims to be a not-for-profit organisation that provides a unique digital name, or iD, which identifies researchers and scholars, and distinguishes them from others with similar names. By connecting this iD to all their research activities, publications, and affiliations, researchers will benefit from improved recognition, reduce reporting burdens, and ensure they get full credit for their work.
IOP Publishing and APS will collect ORCID iDs for all corresponding authors through the ORCID API, and will display the identifiers in articles published in their journals. By signing the letter, the two publishers have also committed to meeting ORCID’s best practices for publishers, which were developed in order to ensure a good author experience.
