Author identifier vs. journal identifier

An author-level identifier (ORCID) verifies a person; a journal-level identifier (ISSN) verifies a publication, they answer different credibility questions and shouldn't be confused.

In context

You'll usually need this when distinguishing whether you're verifying a specific person or a specific publication venue.
