Springer Nature announces two new ORCID initiatives Springer Nature has announced two new initiatives in support of ORCID, which gives researchers a unique, personal, persistent identifier (an iD) that distinguishes them from every other researcher. ORCID also enables organisations to link researchers' affiliations and works – including their publications - to their iD, ensuring they receive proper credit for their work. The first initiative is a trial that will mandate ORCID iDs for corresponding authors publishing in 46 journals from across the whole of Springer Nature, including Nature Research, Springer and BioMed Central.
