Adding Products (Publications) from ORCiD
To add publications to section C from ORCID
- Click on EDIT PRODUCTS
- Click on the ORCiD tab
- Your publications from ORCiD will populate. You can refresh the list by clicking the REFRESH FROM ORCiD link
- The ORCiD tab allows you to edit very long author lists. This is useful in cases where there may be dozens of authors on a manuscript.
- Click the checkboxes next to the publications you want to add to the sketch.
- Click the CONTINUE button at the bottom of the Products listing box.
Cautions when using ORCiD to Populate Products
As mentioned elsewhere in this guide, we do not recommend using ORCiD to populate Products in an NIH biosketch. There are a few reasons for this.
- ORCID publications may be missing PMCIDs for publications that have them.
- This can happen if you populate your ORCID profile from a source such as Scopus, which may not have updated PMCID information.
- You are required to include PMCIDs for all peer reviewed, NIH-funded manuscripts in your biosketch. If a publication does not have a PMCID, it may not necessarily need one, if it was not NIH-funded. But if a publication has a PMCID, it must be included in the citation in your sketch.
- If you do wish to use ORCiD to populate the Products section, we recommend that you make sure your ORCiD citations are complete and accurate in your ORCiD profile before you import them to SciENcv.
- When you import ORCiD publications to your SciENcv sketch, they will also be written into your NCBI My Bibliography as manual citations, even though the publications may have PubMed entries. This is a long-standing bug in data transfer between ORCiD and SciENcv.
- You must go into your My Bibliography and merge or delete the "manual" entries that appeared after the ORCiD import.
- This will happen EVERY TIME you click on the ORCID tab in section C of the biosketch, so you will have to reconcile the duplicate entries every time.
- This "bug" could be convenient, if you have publications listed in ORCiD that are not listed in PubMed (manuscripts in journals not indexed by PubMed, book chapters, etc.). If these publications get imported into your My Bibliography from ORCiD import into SciENcv, you can leave them in place and just edit them as necessary.
If you are an NIH-fuinded researcher, you will be required to use My Bibliography to associate your awards with your publications. This is why we recommend you use My Bibliography as your primary source for products in section C.
