ResearcherID: A unique identifier assinged by Thomson Reuters to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification.

ORCID Id: The ORCID iD is a URI with a 16-digit number that is compatible with the ISO Standard (ISO 27729), also known as the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). Initially ORCID iDs will be randomly assigned by the ORCID Registry from a block of numbers that will not conflict with ISNI-formatted numbers assigned in other ways. ORCID iDs always need all 16-digits; they can not be shortened to remove leading zeros if they exist.
Expressing the ORCID iD
The ORCID iD is expressed as a HTTP URI; the number is proceeded by "http://orcid.org/". A hyphen is inserted every 4 digits to aid readability.
Storage of the ORCID iD in a database
The ORCID iD should always be expressed and stored as a URI: http://orcid.org/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (with the protocol (http://), and with hyphens in the number xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx).
