Do YOU have your Orc Identification Number yet?
Or, to use the more common abbreviation, the ORCID.
The journal Law & Literature recently asked me for mine following the acceptance of my Donaldson article, but I didn't have one. But then I also received a stern e-mail from the University of Arizona saying, basically, "All U of A scholars must get an ORCID, or else!"
I never thought this applied to me. After all, ORCIDs aren't that common in the humanities, plus research isn't part of my job description as a lecturer. Still, given the Law & Literature publication, I went out and became the proud new owner of an ORCID (0000-0002-3620-3972).
As a Tolkienist, though, I'm pretty sure that "ORCID" is an abbreviation of "Orc Identification Number." I honestly have no idea what else it could mean. A type of flower? God knows.
