Why?
• Quickly populate your ORCID profile with all publications
identified as yours in Scopus.
• Help remedy systemic name ambiguity problems in
Scopus author profiles.
• Increase visibility of your research: allow Scopus users to
quickly access all of your research output, including
works shown in your ORCID but not visible in Scopus itself.

3. Display a link to your Scopus Profile
from ORCID so others can move
between the two with ease and

6. To start, you should be
logged in to your ORCID
account.

Register for an ORCID now.

9. Select Search & link under the
+Add works menu for Works
(publications) when logged in
to your ORCID profile.
11. Note: Scopus is just one of several third party sources
of publication data you can link your ORCID to, which
can help add outputs to your ORCID profile. These
follow a similar process in each case.
We would strongly recommend all authors link their
ORCID to Crossref as the registry of DOIs for millions of
scholarly publications.
For authors publishing data and other content through
DRO-Data, Figshare, Dryad or other data repositories,
we would also recommend linking to DataCite, as the
registration body for DOIs minted for many data
repositories and similar services.
12. Confirm you are happy with sharing data
between Scopus and ORCID and click on
Authorize access.
13. Review the possible profiles identified (click on show recent documents to view
publications linked to each profile in Scopus if more than one possible profile is
identified) and select those to link to your ORCID profile, and whose publications
you can then import to your ORCID from Scopus.
14. Indicate the preferred Profile name format to display.
These will usually be automatically derived from different name/initials
combinations, but may also include alternative names if your name has
changed and appears differently on past publications.
16. You can check to see if Scopus has indexed any other of your
publications, but not linked these to your Scopus Author Profile
as well.
Please note, if a book or journal is not indexed in Scopus, you
cannot add this to your profile from Scopus.
18. Recommended: Confirm any changes made and allow the wizard to send those
changes back to your Scopus Author Profile to update it in Scopus.
Confirming this will result in your ORCID being displayed on your Scopus Author
Profile in Scopus, allowing users to find your publications and other information
not listed in Scopus if they are displayed in your ORCID profile.
20. Required: Click on Send Author ID to link the Scopus Profile with your ORCID profile.
