A list of changes from 1.2 to 2.0 (or from release candidate 2.0_rc3 to 2.0)
A detailed guide to the changes and what is required to update
We realize that updating requires effort and resources on your part, but we are here to support you in this transition, and we are confident that the improvements you’ll see as a result of the upgrade are very worthwhile. ORCID members will be contacted by our Community Team with additional information and support for updating - or feel free to reach out to us at anytime about the update at sup...@orcid.org and we’re also happy to answer questions on this list.
Public API members that are only authenticating ORCID iDs may not need to make any changes, and those reading records will have minimal updates to get and read information in the 2.0 format. Please review the Who is affected guide. Public API members with questions about the update can post them to this list.
Last but not least you may be interested in this blog post about API 2.0 by our Technical Director, Rob Peters!
Best,
