MY NCBI, NIH Biosketch, & SciENcv: My NCBI & ORCID

To make a connection between MyNCBI and ORCID, please do the following:

• Log into MyNCBI and click  on your NCBI Account Settings.    Under linked accounts, click "Change"  and in Search for Account name, search for ORCID.
• When you see ORCID, click it and follow the steps to sign into your ORCID account.  

Once your ORCID ID is connect to MyNCBI, you need to periodically ensure your publications are updated in your ORCID account.   One way to do that is going to ORCID, and connect it with Scopus to add in any recent publications (click here for instructions).  

Once your ORCID account is up-to-date with publications, next ensure that your ORCID publication list is up-to-date in MyNCBI.

• Click on SciENcv you want to work on.  
• Go down to Contribution to Science and click on the tab you want to add the publications that will come from ORCID
  • When you click the tab, you will see a My Bibliography and an ORCID tab. 
  • Click on the ORCID tab and click on "refresh the list from ORCID"
• Now your ORCID publications in MyNCBI are up-to-date 

This video focuses on features in SciENcv that help users connect profile and citation information stored in an ORCiD profile, where ORCiD is the free Open Researcher and Contributor ID system.

An ORCID iD is a unique and persistent identifier for researchers -- ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized. (ORCID.org)

• Make your work discoverable by others
• Provides a means to distinguish between you and other authors with identical or similar names.
• Links together all of your works even if you have used different names over the course of your career.
• Makes it easy for others (grant funders, other researchers etc.) to find your research output.
• Ensures that your work is clearly attributed to you.
• Can help you minimize repetitive data entering - Streamline submissions to publishers, grant funders, and associations, which increasingly integrate ORCIDs and send data to your profile
