Adding a field to the creators field is very simple*, and it will 
automagically appear in the interface..... but do you plan to DO 
anything with it, or just accept the string that people fill in?

[*] Edit cfg/cfg.d/eprint_fields.pl and add

    { name=>orcid,
      type=>text
    },

to the definition of the creator (and editor/any other 
person-identification set you want, then rebuild the database with

    epadmin update_database_structure *repository_id*

.... and restart the server
(that's EP 3.2 - in EPrints 3.3 its epadmin update *repository_id*
