Primes¶
- Attestation
- In scientific communication it is citations binding an author to a claim's provenance, peer-review badges, registered reports, ORCID-bound identity, and preregistration timestamps.
This sourceDescribes ORCID's persistent identifier binding a researcher's identity to their scholarly outputs — an attestation mechanism in scientific communication.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The ORCID paper's own abstract supports only the 'ORCID-bound identity' item in the claim's list, showing ORCID identifiers persistently link researchers to their publications and research activities.
“At its core the value of the ORCID registry is that it crosses disciplines, organizations, and countries, linking ORCID with both existing identifier schemes as well as publications and other research activities.”
- In scientific communication it is citations binding an author to a claim's provenance, peer-review badges, registered reports, ORCID-bound identity, and preregistration timestamps.
- Appellation
- The registrar is the identifier authority; the binding act is registration; the portable handle travels across catalogues, funder systems, and publisher databases, letting bibliometric work aggregate a person's output despite name changes, transliteration variants, and common-name ambiguity.
This sourceA persistent author identifier binds an opaque token to a researcher, letting bibliometric work aggregate output across name changes, transliteration variants, and common-name ambiguity.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The ORCID paper's own abstract backs the frame (a registry whose identifiers solve author name ambiguity across organizations and link to publications), but not the registrar/binding-act/portable-handle decomposition.

- Record Reconciliation
- In bibliographic and scholarly identity, publication records are reconciled to person identifiers across disambiguation pipelines.
This sourceDescribes reconciling publication records to disambiguated person identifiers across scholarly systems.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Abstract states ORCID resolves author name ambiguity and links publications to identifier schemes, but says nothing of multiple disambiguation pipelines.
“The Open Researcher & Contributor ID (ORCID) registry presents a unique opportunity to solve the problem of author name ambiguity. At its core the value of the ORCID registry is that it crosses disciplines, organizations, and countries, linking ORCID with both existing identifier schemes as well as publications and other research activities.”
- In bibliographic and scholarly identity, publication records are reconciled to person identifiers across disambiguation pipelines.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 5 of 5 citations: 5 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
