The ADS are currently working towards incorporating Persistent Digital Identifiers for people into our systems. This helps us accurately match records to individuals, and permits a wider interoperability in the metadata we hold.

This is primarily through use of the ORCID system. If you have an ORCID that isn't recorded here then please email us and let us know and we'll update as soon as we can. If you don’t have an ORCID identifier, you may want to consider creating one for free at https://orcid.org/.
