Enable users to edit publications
Allow users to edit publications that already exist in their records.
This suggestion is being reviewed as we try and find the best way to proceed with it. While we recognize the value of being able to edit works to correct citations or add addition links, we also don’t want to loose the authority that comes from having unedited citations directly imported from publishers.

Corrections should be done in source. What ORCID could help to is to propose the change to the source. But I really agree that the information should be the same as in the source (publishers).

I manually added some citations because ORCID couldn't find them. Then I imported records from SCOPUS and now I have duplicates. It would be nice to be able to remove the ones I added manually.

I strongly agree. I have works imported from Scopus that have errors in the author names but I am unable to fix the error.

I endorse such an effort. I also have found errors in imported citations.

I strongly support this. Many of my works imported without their DOIs. So I tried to add them manually, but was unable to.
I don't think we should assume every works arrives "perfect" so it would be really good to have the ability to edit records.
