Create and update a profile

You must create a single profile to which an ORCID ID is assigned.

To obtain this identifier, you must first register by visiting the page: https://orcid.org

In the first step, you will create your researcher profile and enter your personal data.

You should use as your registration name the name you always publish with.
If you sign with a different name from your first and last, you must fill in the field “Also known as”.

To make your registration as complete and visible as possible, you must fill in all the fields, even if not mandatory, such as:

  • Employment (Institutions you have an affiliation with);
  • Education and qualifications (Academic qualifications);
  • Invited positions & distinctions;
  • Membership and service (Associations and volunteer service);
  • Funding (Projects completed or in progress);
  • Works (Scientific or academic publications).

Once created, you should update your profile regularly.

ORCID is interoperable with the main profile platforms of indexed publications, such as SCOPUS and Web of Science, making it easier to update your ORCID profile.

Adding publications

You should use the automatic import forms whenever possible, avoiding manual registration.

You can add your publications to your profile by direct import, URL, DOI, or other identifiers.

To add indexed publications, it is highly recommended to use indexing platforms such as:

  • CrossRef;
  • SCOPUS;
  • Web of Science.

For other types of published documents, such as books, book chapters, proceedings, and others, you should use the document identifier, such as a DOI, ISBN, or ISSN, whenever these are available.

You can also import a URL from other academic platforms by using the tool Search & link
