ORCID support has been added to the eXtyles XML export. If ORCID(s) are included in the author line of a manuscript in this form:

John Smith (http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6858-8806), Jane Smith (http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2808-802X)

then eXtyles will export them as:

<ext-link ext-link-type=”orcid” xlink:href=”http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6858-8806″/>http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6858-8806</ext-link>

inside the <contrib> element when using the NLM DTD (any version), or as:

<contrib-id contrib-id-type=”orcid”>http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6858-8806</contrib-id>

when using JATS, which added the new contrib-id element.

For now, this behavior assumes a manual copy/paste of the ORCID from the online submission system into the Word file.
