Re: [EP-tech] orcid support advance

Hi Tomasz,
afaik you guessed correctly: As soon as a user connects to orcid.org, the plugin looks for existing author/editor entries where the value of the "id" field matches the user's email address. It then fills the orcid field of the author/editor with the user's orcid. [1]
From there on the lookup script takes over. (Not sure, but I think there's even a trigger on saving eprints that goes the other way round: take each author/editor id, check if there is a user with that email address and if they have an orcid, put this into the id field of the author/editor.)
If I remember correctly, the names of users or authors/editors are irrelevant for this process. (People may change names, anyway. That's why we need an identifier such as orcid in the first place.) 

Best regards
Dennis
