As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer-review process JBJ has become a supporting member of ORCID®, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID.

All co-authors contributed to a single submitted journal to JBJ should kindly provide us with their significant ORCID or sign in with their ID in the website during submission. This will help us improve the quality of manuscripts.
 

ORCID is a registry of unique identifiers for researchers and scholars which is open, non-proprietary, transparent, mobile and community based.

ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other contributor and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities ensuring that their work is recognized.

Any researcher or author can go to orcid.org to set up their unique ORCID identifier.

Once you’ve registered for an ORCID ID the next step is to build your ORCID record. You can also use your ORCID to gain recognition of your peer reviewing activities.

We encourage again all authors and co-authors to register for an ORCID iD and to link their ORCID iD to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. We collect ORCID iDs during the manuscript submission process and your ORCID iD then becomes part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Your ORCID iD is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.
