ORCID

Your name, published name, biography, and email addresses need to be added manually, but all other fields can be populated by connecting your ID with other information systems.

You can allow trusted organizations, like publishers and grant funders, to add data to your record, or you can add records manually. 

In the Works section, click +Add. You can manually upload each record, but it is much easier to import your works by:

• Adding a DOI
• Searching and linking
• Adding a PubMed ID, or
• Adding BibTex.

Manually uploading records, adding a DOI, or adding a PubMed ID will only allow you to add one item at a time. You can speed the process by using Search & link or Adding BibTex. 

Search & Link

Using Search & Link gives permission to trusted organizations to add works to your ORCID. Using this tool, you can import content from:

• Scopus Author ID
• Crossref Metadata Search
• DataCite
• MLA International Biography, 
• DOE/OSTI

and several other sources with just a few clicks. 

Add BibTex

You can import publications that you've exported from other systems, like Google Scholar, in BibTeX. This method is less reliable and requires a bit more manual intervention than Search & Link, but may be useful in some situations. 

You can add information about grants, awards, or other types of funding to your ORCID record. 

Trusted organizations can also add/update this information, and can make it easier to keep up with your information. 

Add your funding

In the funding section, click on the +Add header. You can add records manually or use the Search & Link functionality to import records from DimensionsWizard. After granting authorization to DimensionsWizard, you can search their website for your grants and link them to your record. 

In the Professional Activities section, you can add information about your memberships, service activities, invited positions, and distinctions. These activities must be added manually by selecting the +Add button in the Professional Activities selection, selecting the activity type, and completing the relevant fields.
