ORCID: Add your works
Add information to your ORCID record
There are three ways to add works to your ORCID record:
- Link your works from another system (recommended)
- Import a BibTex file of your works
- Manually type in information about your works
To link works from another system, choose Search & link from the Add works menu in the works portion of your record:
Select a system from the list (CrossRef is a good general source; others will depend on your discipline). You'll be asked to authorize the system; after authorization, you will be able to identify works in that system that are yours that you would like to be affiliated with your ORCID iD.
For more information about specific data sources, see Add works by direct import from other systems in the ORCID Knowledge Base.
To import a BibTeX file of your works, choose Import BibTeX from the Add works menu in the works portion of your record and import the file. For more information, see Importing Works from a BibTeX File in the ORCID Knowledge Base.
To manually type in information about your works, choose Add manually from the Add works menu in the works portion of your record. Complete the form to describe the work. For more information, see Add works manually in the ORCID Knowledge Base.
Control the visibility of information in your ORCID record
You may control how much of your ORCID record is publicly visible. For both your personal information and your scholarly works, three settings are available:
- Public or Everyone: Information is available via the ORCID API and visible to users on the ORCID website.
- Trusted Parties: Information is visible only to individuals and organizations you authorize.
- Private: Information is only visible to you.
For more information, see Visibility Settings in the ORCID Knowledge Base and ORCID's Privacy Policy.
Allow someone else to manage your record
If you grant a delegate access to your ORCID record, they can update and manage the record on your behalf. Note that delegates must have their own ORCID iD to log in. You can add trusted individuals in your account settings.
For more information, see Add a trusted individual to your account in the ORCID Knowledge Base.
