Unauthenticated ORCID IDs blocking publication

Context: OJS 3.4.0.9; ORCID Profile Plugin 1.1.3.4.8

Describe the issue or problem
When attempting to publish, we receive the following error:

From the plugin documentation and forum, it appears this occurs when contributor ORCID IDs are present but not authenticated. And for non-submitting co-authors, authentication happens via invitation.

It is unclear from the admin UI how to determine authentication status or invitation status for contributors.

  • Is there a way in the UI see whether a contributor has been invited to authenticate their ORCID, and whether they have completed that step?
  • Is there a way to identify which specific contributors are blocking publication due to unauthenticated ORCID IDs?
  • Is there a recommended workflow for editors to resolve this?
