Researchers Are
Reluctant to Register

“I do not find this a good idea for a number of reasons. First, there
is no name ambiguity problem concerning (name) and (name).”

18.
“I would prefer not to have a profile with my e-mail to be shared
with commercial interests.”

19.
“I really do not like such bureaucratic procedures. I must not and
shall not be obliged to write about my academic work or my
biography. If you want an example or examples of my works, you
can usually find them on the Internet.”

20.
“F@&# off. Go home and f@&# yourself.”

Researchers Don’t
Always Understand
ORCID

22.
“I remembered that I have registered for an ORCID ID for
another publisher a month ago with the ID number "0000-0002-
xxxx-xxxx". Now my question is: Must my ORCID ID for Hindawi
be the same?”

23.
“It is the same because we are twins, colleagues and brothers.”

24.
There Are Still Technical
Bugs

25.
“I tried to register in ORCID but I am having problems in
registering. After filling all the information and when I press
register, it does not move further. It stays in the same page.”

26.
“This crap shows:
Notice:
{constraints.fieldmatch}
What the hell is this?”

27.
“I suppose that you are working in India where I have felt
that infrastructure of logistics and IT are very very
premature… Please contact me again when your site is ready
for international accesses.”

April Fool’s...

29.
“I have tried to log into the webpage you described, but it is all
Greek to me, as I don't understand the language shown in the page
at all.”

30.
“The link takes me to a website in German.... it looks very
suspicious please advise.”

31.
“I was redirected to the following website
https://orcid.org/oauth/signin
containing Polish texts etc. (e.g. Jom't lavi am eJ? Rigeztir)
I don't think this is serious anymore. Please remove me as an
Associate Editor of your journal as soon as possible.”
