Journal of Tropical Science and Engineering (JTSE) supports the use of the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) to uniquely identify authors and to enhance the transparency, accuracy, and integrity of scholarly communication.

• When provided, ORCID iDs will be published alongside author names and affiliations and used for metadata dissemination and indexing.
• At minimum, the Corresponding Author is encouraged to provide a valid ORCID iD at the time of submission.
• Authors are strongly encouraged to register for an ORCID iD and to provide it during manuscript submission.

ORCID registration is free of charge at https://orcid.org. JTSE does not require ORCID as a condition for submission or publication, but its use is highly recommended.
