How do I import Author details to ORCID?

The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is a non-profit organization dedicated to solving the name ambiguity problem in scholarly research by assigning a unique identifier to each author.

When an ORCID is associated with a Scopus author profile, viewers can see the link to that ORCID on the Author details page.

To associate your Scopus author profile with ORCID or to create an ORCID:

1. Access an Author details page, from a search results list, a source document details page, or a document details page by selecting the author name.
2. Select 'Connect to ORCID'.
3. Follow the prompts to connect the author details to ORCID and send your publications to ORCID.

Alternatively, on the Author profile page:

1. Select 'Edit profile'.
2. Select 'Connect to ORCID' and follow the prompts to connect the author details to ORCID.
3. Follow the prompts to send your publications to ORCID.
