  The error occurs when the ORCID ID entered does not pass the checksum validation. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect ORCID ID: The ORCID ID may have been entered incorrectly, with typos or missing characters.

  Verify the ORCID ID: Double-check the ORCID ID for any typographical errors. Ensure that it is entered correctly.
  Check the Format: Ensure that the ORCID ID follows the correct format. It should be a valid 16-character string, typically formatted with hyphens.
  Recalculate the Checksum: If you have access to the algorithm used to calculate the checksum, you can verify that the last character is correct. Alternatively, you can use online ORCID validation tools to check the validity of the ID.
