Introduction
We strongly recommend that you use the works Search & Link wizards or connections in private systems (such as your institution) to import works, rather than relying on identifier import.
Wizards reduce or eliminate data errors, enable reliable links between your ORCID iD and your works, and allow for the addition of contributor information with works (users can manually add their own contributor role but cannot add other contributors). Information about adding works using Search and Link wizards can be found at Add works by direct import from other systems.
However, if you're unable to add a work through the Search & Link wizards, we offer the option of adding works using a DOI (not ISTIC and CNKI) or PubMed ID.
To add a work using an identifier
1. On your ORCID record page, go to the Works section and click +Add
2. Select either Add DOI or Add PubMed ID
3. Enter the DOI or PubMed identifier on the popup box and click on Retrieve work details from DOI/PubMed
4. Once you have entered the identifier, the Add work form will be pre-populated with the work’s data. Please check and manually add any missing fields as needed.
5. Select a visibility setting for the work. If you don’t, the item visibility will default to your preferred visibility.
6. Click the Add this work to your ORCID record button at the bottom of the window
After you have added a work to your record, it will display on the main page of your ORCID record under the Works heading. Your name will be shown as the source of information.
