"The ORCID iD you specified is invalid" error

Error Message for this scenario:

“The ORCID iD you specified is invalid. Please include the full URI (e.g. “https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097”).”

When in edit mode, there is no ID visible, but there is some value there because a url shows on the public side of the site, and it works.

Version:
OJS 3.3.0.7

I want to change a section on this page, for one article:
https://earlytheatre.org/earlytheatre/article/view/5855

Journal editor(s) want to remove the Author bio on the landing page for this article. Can someone explain to me how an Admin could achieve this?

Steps taken by Editor:

  • If you look at landing pages for every other item in the recently published issue, you’ll see that none have author bios. link to issue:
    https://earlytheatre.org/earlytheatre/issue/view/527 (V.27, No. 2: 2024)

  • We want to remove the author bio on Ragni’s landing page, and change his affiliation from University of Turin to University of Verona.

  • When I unpublished the issue, I was able to make those changes, BUT THEY WOULD NOT SAVE. Instead, I got the error message (above)

  • I attempted to re-enter the ORCID (after having checked that it is correct). But I kept getting the same error message.

  • We ended up having to republish the full issue, since this was affecting all of the other issue content (no longer visible). But we still need to fix this article entry.

Is this related to the action of adding the Orchid ID? I know this is automated through CrossRef.

I’m puzzled as to why I can simply delete the author bio on this article’s landing page.

Thanks!

Hi @PKP_Tam,

I think you’ve got two separate concerns here, that while they may appear inter-related, may not be. I know there was some confusion about this, but, If you have two distinct quesitons, please, in the future, post them as separate forum posts. This helps keeps the forum more organized as a community knowledgebase and is more in line with our guidelines To that end, I’ve separated the other one out here: https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/remove-author-bio-from-page/94458 and changed the title of this post to focus on the ORCID error.

And, if you wouldn’t mind editing your initial post to focus just on the ORCID issue, that would be appreciated.

To speak to your first issue:

I know that you noted that you checked the ORCID ID, but this error message suggests that the ORCID iD provided is not in the correct format, so it may be worth it to double-check the ORCID and verify that you’ve got the correct 16-digit identifier, which should be in the format: 0000-0000-0000-0000.

A few more things to try:

  1. Ensure you’re using the full ORCID URI: Include the complete URL, starting with “https://orcid.org/” followed by the 16-digit ORCID iD (e.g. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097)

Could you give those options a try?
