1. Create credentials for the ORCID API on the ORCID website.

   2. You can use the ORCID Sandbox API first to test without impacting the production ORCID registry.

   3. Please note: When setting up API credentials, we recommend using the host URL for all TDL journals as the “Redirect URI.” This URL is https://journals.tdl.org.
