Peter Lang will integrate an ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) as part of its publication process. Beginning in 2018, all existing author records will be matched with the ORCID database and new Peter Lang authors will be encouraged to provide an ORCID identifier when submitting a manuscript. Once included, ORCID IDs are automatically embedded into a publication’s metadata. The unique 16-digit identifier allows scholars to distinguish their publications, awards, and affiliations from those of others with similar names, ensuring they receive proper credit for their work.
