Researcher Support Library Services: ORCiD: adding past works

This guide explains how to add grants and past publications to ORCiD profiles using:
 

• Scopus and ResearcherID automatic wizards (including how to merge any duplicate Scopus IDs)

• BibTeX upload from Google Scholar and Symplectic Elements

• UberResearch automatic wizard for adding Grant details

Once registered you will see this screen.  Simply use the auto "Add some now" options to auto populate your ORCiD profile:

Add your past publications:

• Detailed guidance on the Scopus to ORCiD connection wizard and merging any duplicate profiles [to be added]

• More guidance on ResearcherID to ORCiD connection wizard
   

[Other research tools offer import options e.g. MLA, PubMed, although these connections are not as seamless as Scopus/ResearcherID.]

Google Scholar, Symplectic Elements and Endnote connections:

[We recommend using these options to add any remaining works not found via the automated wizards in ORCiD]

BibTeX files can be uploaded to ORCiD.  Google Scholar, Elements and Endnote can generate BiBTeX files e.g.:

• Google Scholar:
  Sign into your Google Scholar profile > select all > export:

• Symplectic Elements:
  Log into Elements
  Go to your Publications via 'Menu' > 'Publications'

  • Either: Tick/select any publications not already picked up by a Scopus connection > 'Export'

  • Or: If you have no publications indexed in Scopus and more than 10 publications listed in Elements, change the view to display up to 100 publications at a time
    Click 'Select all on page' > 'Export'

• For Endnote, export as a txt-file then follow the import options in ORCiD as below
   

• ​Uploading saved BibTeX files into ORCiD:
   

Sign into ORCiD > Works > add works > 'import BibTex' > 'choose file'
 

Any remaining records not captured via these tools can be added manually.
