Please use list markup for lists of names, websites, other IDs, or keywords. This is not only semantically correct, per HTML specifications, but also improves accessibility for people using assistive software to access web pages. Names would be best shown with each starting a new line (the present method can lead to confusion), but it is possible to style lists of keywords so that they are presented horizontally, with a visual separator such as a mid-dot. For websites and other DS, it is possible to style lists as at present, without bullets. I'm happy to advise further if required.

  Thanks for your suggestion for improving the ORCID registry. Could you please describe in further detail what this would involve, or refer to related documentation? Thank you.

  Thank you. For clarity, in my original comment, "other DS" should of course read "other IDs".
