Improve CrossRef/DOI search & work entry
There have been several ideas around the connection between the ORCID Registry and the search functions with the CrossRef database to import DOIs. This idea will serve to combine all of these ideas, and to allow us to report back to you together on our progress. Included in this idea:
* Enable more flexibility in the search & add functionality for works that have DOIs (i.e. come from the CrossRef database)
* Remove (or otherwise indicate) works that already have been imported with these DOIs to prevent duplicate entries.
* Allow for multiple works with DOIs to be imported in one step.
Feel free to add a comment on any other things that you feel should be included in this piece. Thx. -Laura

We’re still developing the works search function in ORCID. But, until we have that complete you might consider adding articles through other tools we offer.
1. You can import publications associated with your Scopus Author ID by following the link to ‘Import Research Activities’ in the left column of your ORCID profile.
2. If you have a profile at ResearcherID you can add works by logging-in to www.researcherid.com, linking your ORCID iD to your profile, then following the link to ‘Exchange Data with ORCID.’ (More detailed instructions are at http://support.orcid.org/knowledgebase/articles/175738-transferring-information-between-your-researcherid)
3. Finally, CrossRef has has a search that integrates with ORCID at http://search.labs.crossref.org/ If you can find the article you are looking for in their search you will be able to automatically add it to your ORCID record.

For me, the automatic search function was appallingly bad. Despite having my first name entered in your system, the search is suggesting papers for authors with first names starting with different letters. So, of the papers suggested, only one is actually mine, and without the ability to mark papers as not mine, all these others clutter the search interface with irrelevant papers, assuming the search ever pulls up any of my other publications.
It also seems that you should be able to add a paper using a PubMed ID (PMID). I don't have a ResearchID profile, but I do have a list of my publications that includes the PMIDs. If I could search by PMID, and then mark to add, I would do this. But, there is no way I am going to manually add publications that are indexed in PubMed.

I strongly support the suggestion of removing from the search list papers already imported using the same tool, or even better, papers with DOIs already included in the author profile.
Thanks for the clearly good work you are doing -

I also agree, I also had strange results with article info that were wrong from the crossref search: title not good, or journal volume wrong.

I agree with these suggestions re import functionality

Search criteria should include article title, journal and other citation details. With these details the search engine should be able to identify the article and add to the list of member. This is similar to search facility available with Researcher ID and Scopus authors list.

Please choose a solution that will also get metadata for DataCite DOIs? Thanks :)

This is just a guess but it appears that CrossRef suggestions are supplied via the CrossRef Metadata Search (which is a great service, btw!).
So, to fix the issues with suggesting relevant publications for a certain author name, it would be nice if the CrossRef Metadata Search would be improved accordingly. This could be done by allowing to filter (facet) results by author name.
The (optional) inclusion of any author-supplied keywords would also improve the metadata search results.

This metadata import can be done via CrossRef.

Please further explain what is meant by "search criteria". Search of what?

The matching system currently seems to have other defects too - it seems to let you add the same reference multiple times which should be impossible - one of the key points is to maintain a non redundant reference list. Agree should be possible to delete wrong suggestions.
