Springer Nature, a global research, educational and professional publisher, has reached an important new milestone, with over 200,000 ORCID identifiers in use for journal articles as of January 1, 2016. This follows November's announcement that Springer Nature will be the first publisher to enable all Springer and Palgrave Macmillan authors and editors to apply their ORCID IDs to academic books and chapters.
Nature Publishing Group originally founded ORCID with Thomson Reuters in 2010, in order to create an open cross-industry funded researcher profile system, and Springer Nature is one of the top publisher referrers to ORCID.
ORCID identifiers give researchers a unique digital code that distinguishes them from every other researcher and links their publication record, reducing confusion and ensuring that academics get recognition for their work.
In 2016, Springer Nature will continue to promote the many benefits of ORCID.
