Populating & Maintaining your ORCID

In order to get the full benefits of an ORCID,  you will need to fully populate and maintain the information in  your record. There are a couple different ways to do this:

1. Manually. Once you register, you can manually add in your employment, research, and peer review information. 
2. Import Works. ORCID offers Link Wizards to help you import your research outputs from a variety of systems including ResearcherID, Datacite, Crossref, and more. You can also import works from Google Scholar using a BibTex file.  

For more information on populating your ORCID, please see this guide and the links below. 

ORCID & Privacy

You are able to control the visibility of your ORCID profile at any time, including control over the visibility of the information, and control over which trusted organizations and trusted individuals ("trusted parties") can access your record to read, write, or update your information. While your ORCID iD is always publicly visibly, you can adjust visibility of the other portions of your profile.
