Registering for and populating an ORCID account:
- Visit orcid.org to register for an account. You will receive a confirmation email with further instructions shortly after registration.
- Log into ORCID using the link sent to you with your email address and password.
- To add publications, click Import Works. You can select publications to import from different databases including Scopus and CrossRef. If you have a ResearcherID, you can select that option to move your data into ORCID. You must give the system permission to capture the references and move them to your account. Once you select the database you'd like to use, follow the instructions for that particular import wizard. Note: Biomedicine articles such as the ones found in PubMed will be found in Scopus.
- "Add works manually" is a feature to add scholarly output that may not be in the represented databases (e.g. book chapter, musical scores, etc.) Add however many entries you have for this section.
- Funding sources can be included in ORCID by employing the UberWizard to locate your grants or entering them manually.
- Employment and education histories can be added to the record as well.
