Using ORCID to Create a Biosketch

1. On the My NCBI main page, scroll down to find SciENcv at the bottom right. If you haven't used SciENcv before, it will be a small box that gives you a link to create a profile. If you've used it before, it will show links to biosketches you've already created. Click to create a profile or on "Manage SciENcv" and then on "Create A New Profile."

2. Click on the tab for "From an external source."

3. Fill in the form:

1. Give your biosketch a name

2. Select type of profile

3. Choose ORCID from the "external source" dropdown menu.

4. Click on "Create"

4. It will automatically pull from ORCID to populate your new biosketch. This may take a couple of minutes.

5. Scroll down to find the section on Peer-reviewed publications or References - the name of the section will be different for different Biosketch Formats

6. Click on "edit this section" or "Show/hide entries." Then click on the ORCID tab. Select the articles you want displayed in this biosketch. You will also have the option of selecting from your My Bibliography as well. Once you have checked the ones you want, click on "Done."

7. The articles you selected should then appear in Section C. You can edit what appears there using the "Show/hide entries" option.

8. The more you fill in your ORCID profile, the more you will be able to pull automatically into SciENcv when you create a biosketch.

Linking ORCID to NIH/NSF Biosketch
