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.

强制ORCID是否侵犯了作者的自由和权利？

摘要ORCID（开放研究者和贡献者ID）被认为是一个专门的作者识别工具。在这封信中，我认为，如果强制要求提交学术论文时必须有ORCID，这可能会侵犯作者的权利，如果这阻止了他们自由、不受阻碍地向期刊提交论文，特别是如果他们的身份足够独特，可以将他们与其他同名学者区分开来，或者其他网站是否能够确认他们的身份。ORCID是一个有价值的工具，可以加强出版业的诚信。然而，在提交过程中禁止作者进入，这基本上违背了开放科学原则。
