Using your ORCID iD when publishing your research, applying for grants, and sharing your work has never been more important or easier! For the health sciences, in particular, making your research findable is critical to furthering the field and helping the public. Many publishers and funders require ORCID as part of their submissions process. Find out some ways that having your own ORCID can make your work easier below.
Check out this NCBI Minute video on PubMed Tools and ORCID IDs for Authors.
1. Go to My NCBI. Then click on the "More Login Options" button to see a list of available 3rd party login options.
2. Select ORCID from the available options, which will take you to the ORCID login screen.
3. Log into your ORCID account (if you are not already logged in), and click the Authorize button to give NCBI permission to read your ORCID record.
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 to populate your biosketch is a quick and easy way to reduce the amount of time you spend creating one each time you apply for federal funding. Follow these four easy steps to get started!
1. Click Manage SciENcv in the SciENcv box.
2. Click to edit your Mini Profile and add your ORCID iD. (Skip this step if you've already linked ORCID to My NCBI.)
3. Click on the link in the SciENcv box to create a new CV.
4. 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".
