Off Topic: Limitations on Using the Orcid ID Feature
Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2024 12:18 pm
I was excited to try the Orchid ID feature in Bookends. I discovered however that my Orcid ID is not registered within OpenAlex. When I enter my Orcid ID in the Bookends settings, I get the message that ... "This ORCID ID does not exist, isn't in the OpenAlex database, or has no public content."
For those who may find this happens, it seems we are at the mercy of whether and how OpenAlex coordinates to link an Orcid ID. My interpretation of the documentation suggests that the primary funnel between the two is through CrossRef, not through a direct API.
Just an FYI, nothing more.
