By now it’s likely that everyone’s heard of ORCID IDs, whether or not you’ve chosen to create one. While I can sing the praises of ORCID over and over again, I think for ORCID the proof is in the pudding (as they say).
I contacted 7 ECS authors with pristine ORCID records and asked them a few questions about the usefulness, maintenance required, and learning curve.

- How did you find out about ORCID?
- In some manuscript submission systems, such as ECS, Elsevier EES and PLOS, there are links to ORCID.
- It started showing up as an option to link on journal submission websites and I didn’t really understand it, so I went to their website.
- From colleagues.
