- Worth noticing
- The page says an ORCID iD is the account, and users choose what their profile card shows for each event.
Field notes
The page breaks the workflow into preparation, meeting, and later recall, with sample attendee records that include affiliations, research areas, and private notes. It also describes following people for new-paper emails and getting a reminder before a later event attended by both parties. The site says users control what appears on their event-specific card and that records can be deleted; these are claims presented on the homepage.
