Visible name changes promote inequity for transgender researchers
Leo C. Gaskins, Craig R. McClain
Abstract
Allowing for invisible name changes is a matter of dignity for trans researchers. This would prevent their own publication record from outing them without their consent. A single, centralized name change request through ORCID iD would alleviate the burden of changing each publication individually.
