Abstract
Abstract ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is supposed to exclusively be an author identification tool. In this letter, I argue that the mandatory requirement to have an ORCID for the submission of an academic paper may constitute a violation of an author’s rights if it prevents them from the free and unhindered submission of a paper to a journal, especially if their identity is sufficiently unique to distinguish them from other academics with similar names, or if other websites would be able to confirm their identity. ORCID is a valuable tool to fortify one aspect of publishing’s integrity. However, by barring entry of an author during the submission process, it would be essentially functioning against open science principles.
