This is probably a simple configuration option in the plugin: is it possible to be including the authenticated ORCIDs for the contributor field (in addition to Editors and Creators)?

I guess basically you'd need to add the contributor field in the orcid support plugin config.

Thank you, that seems simple enough. Was the plugin tested with the contributors as one of the supported fields? I ask because contributors also have roles. I suppose I'm asking if others have used it with the contributors field?

We tossed this scenario around at our instance, but we never got to actually do it. From a quick glance at the code, it seems that contributor types (or contributors at all, for that matter) are currently not taken into account when it comes to importing from or exporting to orcid.org.

There is a very basic mapping (confusingly enough called "contributor_map") used, but that only covers the names of the eprint fields for creators and editors. Ad hoc I did not find any logic, that handles contributor types. You could possibly start off by adding a generic "contributor" entry in this mapping, but mapping of eprint contributor types to orcid contributor roles does not seem to be implemented yet.
