The start of 2016 has seen a number of academic publishers declare their intention to make it compulsory for authors to use ORCID identifiers during the publication process. The implementation of this will commence during the course of the year, and follows the example of the UK’s Royal Society, which established its policy from January 2016. The publishers behind the announcement include American Geophysical Union (AGU), eLife, EMBO, Hindawi, the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Public Library of Science (PLOS).
