Bugs in DOAJ export plugin: ORCID iD missing in JSON, registration of duplicates possible

Describe the issues or problems

  1. While the DOAJ export plugin includes the ORCID iD of an author in the exported XML, it does not so in the JSON that is sent to the DOAJ API.

  2. When an article is already marked registered in the DOAJ export plugin, and the user wants to register again (e.g. because of an update), PUT should be used instead of POST . Otherwise a duplicate will be created at DOAJ.

Steps I took leading up to the issue

  1. ORCID iD is missing in ojs/DOAJJsonFilter.php at main · pkp/ojs · GitHub

DOAJ includes the ORCID iD in its JSON schema:

  1. There is only POST in the plugin code:

DOAJ API requires PUT for updates: https://doaj.org/api/docs#!/CRUD_Articles/put_api_articles_article_id

What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0-13

This study investigated the influence of teacher communication behaviours on predictors of alcohol use, snack intake, and physical exercise during a school-based health intervention.
