[GOAL] Re: New Year's challenge for repository developers and managers: awesome cross-search

[Beall, Jeffrey]

Thomas,

Could you please explain why you think ORCID is a step backwards? Yours is the first negative comment I've heard about it. 

Thank you,

Jeffrey Beall

  ORCID itself is not an open access initiative. It's a step backwards.
