Additional PIDs for individuals

ORCID iD stands out as the sole widely adopted identifier for individuals, offering platform independence, interoperability, and researcher-editable capabilities. However, there are other identifiers within the scientific realm that may lack one or more of these properties. The two most prevalent identifiers alongside ORCID iD are:

  • Scopus Author ID: Utilized within the Scopus database, this identifier is automatically assigned to all indexed authors.

  • Web of Science ResearcherID: Operated by Clarivate, this identifier links authors with their publications across Clarivate products (e.g. Web of Science, Publons, and InCites). Researchers can apply for a ResearcherID through the Publons service.
