Interesting, thanks for the heads up. I will implement the following safeguard:
* Known: Paper DOI, paper PMID, author last name, author initials
* Get connected ORCIDs based on the DOI / PMIDs
* Check if the known last name matches the last name of the ORCID profile (also include the "Also known as" section of the profile)
This may lead to some false negatives (for example in case of name changes that were not properly recorded) but if I can reduce the amount of manual lookups to a number below 100, it's already a win.
