What ORCID tracks

What the homepage loads before you accept or decline cookies. A cookie banner should hold most of it back until you agree, and a tag manager can load more that we don’t see.

We can’t read orcid.org’s homepage (too little text on the homepage), so it’s compared on what Wikidata and Wikipedia say about it.

Closest first, by how much each site’s offer resembles ORCID’s. Trackers are counted the same way as above. Highlighted technologies are ones ORCID uses too. Votes and comments come from visitors and don’t change the order.

04 · History

No changes yet. Each new crawl is compared with the last one, and what ORCID adds, drops or rewrites shows up here.

05 · Details

How we measure

Alternatives are matched by what sites actually offer, from their homepages, Wikidata and a summary by Claude, in any language. Trackers and the rest of the stack come from the homepage’s code and DNS records.
