Should @orcid.org replace all other researcher identifier systems? The answer is No according to the @morebrains.coop: It's "ORCID and…," not "ORCID or…". Read about how ORCID complements national, disciplinary and proprietary researcher identifier systems in this informative white paper.

Great to work on this project! All views expressed are our own, but we're v grateful to the @orcid.org team for their help gathering data & other background info!
ORCID:
✅ strengthens national systems,
✅ supports disciplinary inclusion, and
✅ ensures interoperability with proprietary services. See how integrating these identifiers creates a more robust and trustworthy research landscape.
