The Name Game: ORCID Registry Announces Launch Partners
What is ORCID?
ORCID [Open Researchers and Contributor ID] aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in scholarly communications by creating a registry of persistent unique identifiers for individual researchers and an open and transparent linking mechanism between ORCID, other ID schemes, and research objects such as publications, grants, and patents.
From a Recent ORCID Blog Post:
As ORCID prepares for the public launch of its Registry in October, we are excited to announce a number of organizations from across the scholarly community preparing to integrate with the ORCID Registry.
