incoherence.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the first sentence in this article doesn't really make sense. Cuniform Grocery List (talk) 18:59, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Applying

Do authors apply for an ID for themselves or are they registered by somebody else? Is it intended also for authors who can't apply for themselves, such as say, Isaac Newton or Marie Curie? -- Error (talk) 17:48, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see that Isaac Newton has one ORCID https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6137-1097 but I don't see one in Curie's article. --Error (talk) 17:51, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
