Persistent Identifiers

There are three main ways to add works to your ORCID record:

• Link your works from another system (recommended)
  • To link works from another system, choose Search & link from the Add menu in the works portion of your record.
  • Select a system from the list (CrossRef and DataCite are good general sources, others will depend on your discipline). You'll be asked to authorize the system, and will then be able to identify works in that system that are yours and that you would like transferred to your record. Each system behaves a little differently, and there may be a couple of intermediate steps not described here. For more information, see Importing work from other systems in the ORCID Help Center.
• Import a BibTeX file of your works 
  • To import a BibTeX file of your works, choose Add BibTeX from the Add works menu in the works portion of your record, and import the file. For more information, see Importing Works from a BibTeX File in the ORCID Help Center.
• Manually type in information about your works
  • To manually type in information about your works, choose Add manually from the Add works menu in the works portion of your record, and complete the form to describe a work. For more information, see Add works manually in the ORCID Help Center. 

You may control how much of your ORCID record is publicly visible. For both your personal information and information about your works, three settings are available:

	Public or Everyone: information is available via the ORCID API and visible to visitors to the ORCID website
	Trusted parties: information is visible only to individuals and organizations you authorize
	Private: information is visible only to you

For more information, see Visibility Settings in the ORCID Help Center, and ORCID's privacy policy.
