ORCiD value checksums not validated

Open slint opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

While there is a structural/format validation for filled-in ORCiD values (i.e. that the string follows the NNNN-NNNN-NNNN-NNNN pattern), there is no checksum verification for the ORCiD value itself, which could be additional help for mistyped/pasted values.

As an example, the ORCiD 0000-0003-2680-0055 is invalid (based on its checksum) but is accepted by the form. Correct values in this case could be 0000-0003-2680-0025 or 0000-0003-2680-005X.
