Verify Your Email Address

From the ORCID blog:

To ensure that you and only you (or those to whom you have granted permission) can access and manage your record... a verified email address is required to access key features of your ORCID record.

Verifying your primary email address allows you to:

• Add data manually (other than adding and editing your name)
• Add works using the BibTeX import

Verifying is not required in order to:

• Add and edit your name and name variations
• Change your account settings
• Update your email addresses
• Connect your ORCID iD to other systems and authorize them to read and update your ORCID record
• Change the visibility of data that other systems have added to your ORCID record, or delete that data

For more on how (and why) to verify your primary email address, see the ORCID Support site.

You're In Control of Privacy and Visibility Settings

Researcher control over access to and visibility of data is a fundamental principle of ORCID. There are three visibility settings for items in your profile:

Add Only What You Want

Fill out your ORCID profile with as much or as little information as you want. In addition to publications and other works, you might want to include:

• biography
• education
• employment
• keywords
• alternate names
• website(s)
• email address(es)

Each section and entry can be set as public, limited, or private: you decide what to enter and what to display publicly. Establish the preferred form of your name, hide your old email addresses, or improve your findability with keywords.
