The video below (requires RMIT login) outlines three methods for adding research outputs to your ORCiD profile, and importantly - why you might choose one method over another.
There are numerous ways to add publications to your ORCID profile. From the Biography section go to > Works > + Add.
Steps for three of the main methods for adding works to your ORCiD profile are outlined below: 'Search & link', 'Add BibTex' and 'Add manually'.
Search & link
The recommended way to add "traditional" research outputs such as peer-reviewed journal articles to your record is via 'Search & link', as this tool directly connects to some organisations and databases and ensures accuracy of record data.
Add BibTeX
For databases or platforms that don't have a direct connection with ORCID (e.g. LibrarySearch, Google Scholar or EndNote), you can import citations in the form of BibTeX (.bib) files - more detail can be found on the ORCID website.
Note: It's recommended that the Search & link import function is used wherever possible, as there have been some inconsistencies when trying to import BibTeX (.bib) files.
To import a BibTeX file (.bib):
Add manually
This method is suitable for adding NTROs and other Research Outputs not listed in the main databases connected to ORCID.
To add manually:
A quick method for adding the citation can be to copy and paste from a CV or list of your works.
For further information follow these instructions to manually add publications to your ORCID record.
