Retrieve Data from the ORCID Public API // Provides functions to retrieve public data from ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) records via the ORCID public API. Fetches employment history, education, works (publications, datasets, preprints), funding, peer review activities, and other public information. Returns data as structured data.table objects for easy analysis and manipulation. Replaces the discontinued 'rorcid' package with a modern, CRAN-compliant implementation.
