How to add publications to your ORCID profile?
|
After you have registered for an ORCID iD, the next step is to add publications to your profile so that you can reap the benefits that your ORCID brings. For publications that are not indexed in Scopus or Web of Science, you may also manually add in the publications using the following ways:

CrossRef is an official DOI (Digital Object Identifier) registration agency. The CrossRef Metadata Search via ORCID platform allows you to search the metadata of millions of journal articles, books, etc, by title or DOI, and add works to ORCID profile. As DOI is the unique ID assigned to a piece of published work, it will be more accurate to retrieve an article by searching its DOI.
If you have some publications that cannot be retrieved from Scopus or Web of Science (ResearcherID), you may try CrossRef or add by an identifier (e.g. DOI) before doing it manually.
Step 2. Choose "CrossRef Metadata Search"
Step 3. Authorize CrossRef to access your ORCID record
Step 4. Search for the works and add to ORCID
You can also add a work using identifiers like DOI, ArXiv ID, and PubMed ID. If you have some publications that cannot be retrieved from Scopus or Web of Science, try to add by these identifiers or using CrossRef Metadata Search before adding them manually.
Step 1. Login to your ORCID
Step 2. Click on Add works, then Add ArXiv ID/ Add DOI/ Add PubMed ID under Works
Step 3. Enter the relevant ID
The "ADD WORK" form will then be pre-populated with the publication's details. You can double-check and manually add any missing fields as needed:
Step 4. New work has been added
Since the work is manually added by you, your name is known as the Source of the work.
To edit the records, click Edit (pencil icon) to modify the information.
If you have some publications that cannot be retrieved from Scopus or Web of Science, try CrossRef Metadata Search or add by an identifier (e.g. DOI) first before adding them manually.
Step 2. Click on +Add works and then +Add manually under Works
Step 3. Fill in the required information
ORCID allows adding different types of works. Select Conference from Work category if you wish to add a conference paper, or select Intellectual Property if you wish to add a Patent. The name of fields varies along with the change of work type.
Apart from the title of the work, it is highly recommended to also fill in the identifier of the work, e.g. DOI for journal articles, or ISBN for books. If an identifier is not available, fill in a URL. These will help people locate your works. After completing the form, click Add to list to submit.
Step 4. New work has been added
Since the work is manually added by you, your name is known as the Source of the work.
To edit the manually added records, click Edit (pencil icon) to modify the information.
ORCID allows you to import records from BibTeX files (.bib). BibTeX is a platform-independent, plain-text format used for bibliographic citations in LaTeX document. It can be exported from Google Scholar and citation management tools such as EndNote, Mendeley and Zotero.
If you have a Google Scholar profile with the most updated list of publications, you can export your works in BibTeX file from Google Scholar and import them into ORCID. Read Export your publication data from Google Scholar or refer to the video below to learn more.
If you have already had publications in ORCID that are imported from other sources, such as Scopus or ResearcherID, avoid exporting all your works in Google Scholar as this may lead to duplication of records. This is because records in Google Scholar usually do not have DOIs and ORCID mainly uses DOI to de-duplicate publication records every time publication information is added. Try to selectively import publications from Google Scholar only for those are not covered by other sources.
