Ah, thank you. Of course it's the citations fouling things up...

Some of the records we're getting from ORCID have a citation field that's BibTeX but others you have to create a citation from the various elements (like contributors > authors). I feel like some off the shelf product or even, say, an open source content management system with a bibliographic package/library/add-on would already know how to format/display citations with these standard fields and would further allow visitors to export or follow or otherwise interact. We're also seeing some incomplete records in ORCID and I'm chasing some of that now. I believe Publons is exporting incomplete records - Clarivate is chasing that for me now.
