Use "ORCID iD" when appropriate

Open seanh opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

"ORCID" always refers to the organization, never to an identifier. We should say "ORCID iD" (yes, with a lowercase i) or "ORCID identifier" whenever we mean to refer to an identifier. See: https://info.orcid.org/brand-guidelines/.

Also "ORCID record" or "ORCID profile" should be used to refer to the information that ORCID holds about a particular user, i.e. "The user's ORCID record" not just "The user's ORCID".
