ORCID @ UNLV

This guide is intended for faculty and student researchers. It contains information about the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) registry, including how to get, use, and connect your ORCID iD.

ORCID for Health Sciences

More and more journals and grants are requiring an ORCID iD. If you want to learn more or create one, check out the Getting Started with ORCID and Using ORCID pages. If you're interested in how ORCID can be used in the Health Sciences, read on!

How can you use your ORCID account?

  1. Connect your ORCID account to PubMed. ORCID's Search & Link wizards allow you to import data about publications from databases such as PubMed. Once you start using your ORCID iD with your publications PubMed will automatically update your ORCID account. Take a look at our Using Orcid page for more info.
  2. Set up your NCBI account to sign in with ORCID. Take a look below to find out more.
  3. Import ORCID citations into SciENcv. Take a look below to find out more.

4. Now you can sign into your existing My NCBI account OR create a new My NCBI account by choosing a username and entering your email address.

 

Using ORCID with SciENcv

Using ORCID with SciENcv

Click Manage SciENcv in the SciENcv section.

Click to edit your Mini Profile and add your ORCID iD. (Skip this step if you've already linked ORCID to My NCBI.)

Click on the link in the SciENcv box to create a new CV.

Give your Biosketch a name, choose the format you need, then choose ORCID as the External source.

After you have created the BioSketch, biographical information will be automatically imported, and you can import citations from ORCID. For example, in the Personal Statement section click on "Select citations", choose the ORCID tab, select the citations you want added and then click "Save citations".
