There must be an easier way to work with review/submission websites.
One registers a master password with the publisher that works for all journals. Every time an account is created with a new journal of this publisher, the master password is linked to it and one could start right away @academicchatter#ScientificPublishing
@ingorohlfing@academicchatter Yeah it is maddening WHY ON EARTH IS IT CALLED MANUSCRIPT CENTRAL, NOTHING CENTRAL ABOUT IT 😾.
I have to say however, now that I am not reviewing for any of the big, for-profit publishers anymore, I am much more willing to put up with a bit of friction.
No excuse for them though, making the kind of profits that they are making.
@pkraus@academicchatter Once ORCID has been authorized for an account, yes. For which one first needs to log in in the traditional way. I would not mind using ORCID as the Master password from the start.
@ingorohlfing@pkraus@academicchatter I haven't seen ORCID being used for authentication with conference/journal submission systems. But they do so for some services such as Overleaf.
@jtmuehlberg@ingorohlfing@pkraus@academicchatter I have used it for some, just yesterday for a review submitted through editorialmanager.com (whoever runs that service (?), it was for a Bristol University Press journal). Works fine, and a good use case for ORCID I agree.
