After you have registered for an ORCID iD, the next step is to add works to your ORCID record.
Works are your research outputs and can include publications, data sets, conference presentations, and more. While you could add these manually, or using a DOI, it is more efficient to allow other systems to do this on your behalf.
Allowing trusted organizations to add information to your record ensures the data connected with your ORCID iD is authoritative and trustworthy, as well as saving you time. The organization which added the work to your record will be listed as the source of the item.
Importing works from multiple sources may result in duplicates. ORCID provides tips for merging records.
Integrate your ORCID iD with your Scopus Author ID.
Scopus is an abstract and citation database. Once you connect your Scopus profile with your ORCID record, all your publications indexed in Scopus will be added to your ORCID record. Follow the steps below to create an integration between ORCID and Scopus.
A Scopus Author ID is automatically assigned to you when you have published a work covered in Scopus. You may have more than one ID in Scopus if you have published under variant names and affiliations. It is always a good practice to merge your multiple Scopus IDs and keep all your works listed under one unique ID. This ensures that your total citation counts and h-index in Scopus are accurate.
After you have integrated ORCID with Scopus:
Option 1: Connect to ORCID from Scopus
Option 2: Search and Link from within ORCID
Using the BibTeX import tool you can import your research works from systems without a direct connection, including Google Scholar.
Steps for exporting BibTeX from Google Scholar.
1. Login to your Google Scholar profile.
2. Select the articles you'd like to export or check the box next to "Title" to select all articles in your profile.
3. Click the "Export" button and follow prompts to choose BibTeX.
4. Save to Desktop.
Steps for importing BibTeX are available from ORCID.
You can link your ORCID record to a number of sites that will auto-import works as they are available.
Search and Link wizards for various systems, for example DataCite, CrossRef, Web of Science (ResearcherID), and MLA International Bibliography, are an easy way to populate your record.
Step-by-step guidance is available from ORCID.
Add works using a DOI or PubMed ID:
After you have added a work to your record, it will display on the main page of your ORCID record under the Works heading. Your name will be shown as the source of information.
Information about grants, awards, or other types of funding can be added to your ORCID record.
Import funding from other systems
Add funding manually
ORCID allows you to describe your contributor role using the CREdIT Contributor Roles Taxonomy.
When works are imported from databases such as Crossref or Scopus, the full list of Contributors will be automatically included.
If you manually add a work to your record using the Add DOI, Add PubMed ID or Add manually options, you will be automatically added as a contributor to the work. You are able to add your contributor role, and roles for other contributors, manually.
Add the following categories of professional affiliations to your ORCID Record:
These affiliations are listed under the Professional Activities section
