Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a Moderators/Editors, and as a Submitting Author, I should be able to send an email from the item view page to ask that the co-author(s) connect their ORCID iD to Janeway via authentication. No one should not be required to manually input an ORCID iD.
Bonus: Ideally, no registration/activation should be necessary.
Describe the solution you'd like
-
If there is no ORCID iD, and “requesting ORCID authentication” is enabled in the settings, then the submitting author or moderator/editor should sees “Ask to verify ORCID iD” (or something similar) in author list:
-
Clicking “Ask to verify” opens pop-up window to send an email to the co-author. The iD request email should be a modifiable template.

-
The co-author shouldn’t be required to log in – use similar workflow to the “Invite Comment from Reviewer”
