Good morning everyone and thank you for your time.
I have a problem with ojs 3.4.0-8 and the publication of the orcid.
during the submission phase the author did not insert the orcid.
a few days after the publication of the article he sent us the orcid and I tried to insert them myself.
I unpublished the article, just went to the contributors field, clicked on edit on one of the authors and inserted his orcid in the orcid field.
I then checked the “Send e-mail to request ORCID authorization from contributor” item.
when I go to republish the article it tells me that the orcid is not authorized.
The following requirements must be met before this can be published.
Unauthenticated ORCiDs for contributors detected.
so basically I should wait for the owner to authorize and then I can publish it?
can you explain/help me?
I found this solution.
that is, disable the plugin for the orcid and it actually inserted them and I was able to publish the article without permissions.
is it normal for it to be like this?
Yes, once the plugin is enabled and configured to work with ORCID API, you should wait for the author’s authorisation.
The principle of ORCID is that the ORCID record owner (the author) is responsible for all activities related with his record, and it is his/her right to determine what happens with the data in the ORCID record, e.g. visibility of individual data entries in the record and authorisations of other systems (e.g. OJS) to use his/her data.
The ORCID plugin for OJS follows and grants this principle (that’s why it is certified by ORCID).
If you disable it temporarily for editing, you remove the author’s right to control his/her data in OJS.
