Academic citation
An ORCID iD is a persistent digital identifier for individual researchers, used to disambiguate authorship across publishers and preprint servers. ORCID iDs are integrated into JSON-LD via the Person schema's identifier or url field. VC Deal Flow Signal embeds the founder's ORCID iD on the site Organization graph so academic citations propagate cleanly between SSRN, Zenodo, OpenAlex, and Google Scholar.
