Mandatory ORCID iD Authentication for Corresponding Authors Before Manuscript Submission

2026-06-21

ANNOUNCEMENT

In support of international scholarly publishing standards and to ensure accurate identification of researchers, the Journal requires all Corresponding Authors to connect and authenticate their ORCID iD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) before submitting a manuscript through the journal's Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.

Effective immediately, a verified ORCID iD is a mandatory requirement for manuscript submission. The submission process cannot be completed unless the Corresponding Author has successfully connected and authenticated an ORCID iD within their user profile.

ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from one another and enables seamless integration with publishers, research institutions, funding agencies, indexing services, and scholarly databases worldwide.

Benefits of ORCID iD
  • Ensures accurate author identification and attribution.
  • Enhances the visibility and discoverability of research outputs.
  • Improves the quality and reliability of article metadata.
  • Facilitates integration with DOI registration agencies and indexing services.
  • Supports compliance with international publishing and research standards.
