2. How do we do it?
ORCID is an independent non-profit
organization supported by member fees
We provide an open registry of persistent
unique identifiers for researchers, and APIs for
the community to embed identifiers in research
systems and workflows
Data marked public by researchers is published
annually by ORCID under a CC0 waiver
ORCID code is available on our GitHub open
source repository and we support community
efforts to develop tools and services
