Hi all,

I thought you might be interested in the announcement that the open-access
eLife journal is now collecting ORCID iDs during its production process in
addition to the peer-review stage. This means contributing authors are now
required to provide their validated iDs at the proofing stage to gain
access to their article proofs.

Authenticating researchers’ ORCIDs can be a daunting task for scholarly
publishers, particularly for works with multiple authors. Many publishers
collect authenticated iDs from co-authors during the submission process and
embed them in the manuscript’s metadata.

eLife has taken its ORCID integration one step further, by giving
contributing authors an opportunity to associate their authenticated ORCID
iD with their work during the production process. This enables even more
authors to uniquely connect themselves with their eLife papers.

Other publishers using the ExeterPremedia production platform are also able
to start collecting iDs during this stage.

To find out more about the integration and how it works, please visit:

If you have any questions at all, then please don't hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes,

Emily Packer
