How do I get all my publications and scholarly works to import from ORCID to Elements?
Answer
First, ensure that your ORCID is claimed in Elements. You can view the tutorial for this below:
Only items that have DOIs can potentially import from ORCID into Elements. One thing to know about the ability of ORCID to share data with Elements is that currently, the ORCID integration harvests DOIs, Scopus EIDs, and PubMed identifiers (PMIDs) from the ORCID data and uses these to retrieve records from the Crossref, Scopus, PubMed, arXiv, and SSRN sources, respectively. It’s their way of ensuring the metadata is accurate and matches across systems. So, if you added something to ORCID that (even if it has a DOI) isn’t in one of the databases listed, it won’t pull in the record to Elements unfortunately.
You can, however, export all your records (or the missing records) from ORCID and then import them into Elements. Follow the tutorial below to learn how to do this:
