Dear Jie
ORCiD is mandatory for all authors that we communicate with during deposition (contact authors). One of the reasons is to allow us ensure that we are able to associate contact authors with all of their depositions even when their email address changes. These contact details are kept private and are not released into the PDB archive. ORCiD's are not required for authors who are just listed as entry or citation authors. But we do encourage ORCiD's to be provided for these authors if they are available. These author names, and any associated ORCiD's, are made public upon PDB release. Please see https://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/policy#toc_authorship for further details of the different types of authors in a PDB entry. I hope this helps Regards John From: CCP4 bulletin board <CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> On Behalf Of Jie Liu Sent: 19 August 2019 20:55 To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] ORCID Dear all, It's been a while since last time I deposited structures to PDB. Do I really need an ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor IDentifier) now to submit files? Is it mandatory? Thank you!
