Everybody needs an ORCID identifier #21

Closed tkuhn closed 7 years ago

We plan to require everybody - editorial board members, authors, co-authors, and reviewers - to provide thier ORCID identifiers. Concerns were raised by an editorial board member, so let's discuss it here.

I don't see a good reason for not requiring ORCIDs from everybody. (ORCIDs won't be disclosed if reviewers choose to be anonymous, of course.) It's super easy to get an ORCID for those who don't have one yet, and ORCIDs are really standard and well-accepted nowadays.
