ORCID provides researchers with a free unique identifier – an ORCiD ID – and a mechanism for linking their research outputs and activities to their ORCID iD.
Why register?
Your ORCID iD:
AUT researchers are encouraged to sign up for an ORCiD ID and to link it to their Research Elements profile.
What is ORCID? from ORCID on Vimeo.

Sign up for an ORCiD
You're connected! Your ORCID number should now display on your Research Elements profile.
You can now return to your ORCID record and add information about yourself, e.g. education, employment. You can also add publications and other research activities.
Doctoral students
If you are employed at AUT and are able to login to Research Elements, follow the above instruction for staff to add ORCID to your Research Elements profile.
Doctoral students who are not employed at AUT are also encouraged to register for an ORCiD ID. Go to ORCID to register for an ID and to fill in your ORCID record.
If you already have an ORCID iD, you can now add it to your Research Elements profile.
There are several ways to add your publications and other research outputs to your ORCID profile. Click Add works to find these options:
Search & link:
You can link your ORCID record with a list of databases and websites. This will give these databases/websites permission to update your publications automatically on your ORCID record. For example:
Link your Scopus (Author ID) and ResearcherID (Web of Science) with ORCID.
Authorise CrossRef to update your publications on your ORCID profile.
Import BibTex
You can import references from BibTex (.bib) files. E.g. export a BibTex file from Google Scholar and import it to ORCID:
Add manually
Follow these instructions to manually add publications to your ORCID record.
