Signatories is a simple web-based program that allows a person to sign an open letter, a letter of support, an online petition, a statement, or a declaration. Designed for academics, signing is accomplished by authenticating with an Open Researcher and Contributor ID account (ORCID).
An ORCID account may sign a campaign at most once, and anonymous participants (when allowed) are assured to have an ORCID account. Signatories may choose to add their professional affiliation, and they can modify their preferences or remove their signature any time after signing. When a signatory's name is visible, any public visitor may click on it to inspect their ORCID profile.
If you would like editor privileges to create a campaign, please contact the site administrator and provide your ORCID.

In April 2025, planetary scientists began to...
