ORCIDs To Become Mandatory for OneDep Contact Authors

The wwPDB OneDep system for deposition, validation and biocuration of structures determined using 3DEM, NMR, and X-ray, neutron and electron crystallography will require contact authors to provide their unique ORCID identifiers (https://orcid.org/) when preparing depositions later this summer. This change will enable wwPDB efforts to correctly attribute PDB structures to contact authors. At a later point, ORCID will be used to authenticate and reorganize access to deposition data within OneDep.
