<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Below are some of my questions and concerns based on the information provided on the ORCiD website:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_4746252202080172665MsoListParagraph"><u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><span>1)<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Mission: “to solve name ambiguity problem”. I have never experienced any name ambiguity problem or had my colleagues or other professors
complain about this issue. What names do they mean? Names of scholars? The question is where did this problem come from? Who articulated it? Is there any evidence to support that there is such a problem?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

</span></span></span><u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Depositing Data in the registry: “you grant a license…a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to sublicense, reproduce,
store, modify, transmit…”. Why is there such an exhaustive list of permissions that a user has to grant to basically anybody? Especially, why would a user allow others to “modify” the data? More so, in the next clauses it states that “there is no way to stop
the public from continuing to use that data”. That means that once a user makes the data public, he/she can no longer have the rights to it, rights to take it out. What if for some reasons I no longer want that information to be public, because of some personal
reasons, or because I get blackmailed or mistreated? Next, in subsection “private” it states that “only our staff… with a ‘need to know’ to manage the Registry… are able to view” the data. What does “need to know” imply here? Who are these individuals? Can
we trust that they abide by the same confidentiality policies? If they are third party, what rules apply to them for working with such data?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

</span></span></span><u></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Limitations on use. It is stated that “ORCiD is a community-based initiative developed by and for the research community”. Who is this
community? Who are the people initiating it? You can tell me that their privacy is protected, but it doesn’t serve the purpose if we don’t even know where and how the idea came from. Scholarly community is so big, and I cannot imagine that a handful of individuals,
regardless of their status, authority and other credentials can and should have the right to dictate how such research related data as ORCiD aims to keep should be collected and used. Another question in this section is the ability of organizations to create
ORCiD records on behalf of affiliated individuals. Why should the researcher lose their voice just because their organization made the decision to join ORCiD? Where is researcher’s freedom to make their own informed decisions about research related activities?
ORCiD creates another subtle mechanism of controlling and forcing faculty, who under the force of organization lose their rights to make decisions about how their data is collected, stored and shared. This is very problematic.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

at conferences, in educational magazines, vialistserves, emails, etc. It seems that the decision was made, in fact, WITHOUT any consultations with the research community, it seems that this decision and terms of its use are corporate business, and not researcher
friendly. More so, as a novice scholar I feel especially very pressured. Just the other day I had to submit an article and in that journal I had no choice but to create an ORCiD account if I wanted to get it reviewed. This is coercive, covert policy mechanisms
that goes against the very nature of what research should be about and the role of the researcher in the process of knowledge production.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
