You can add records directly to your profile from the PSU Research Metadata Database. This database maintains an aggregation of publications, presentations, performances, advising, news articles, and bios for Penn State faculty from several major sources including Pure and Activity Insight.
Please note that the below steps assume you’ve already got an ORCID and connected it to your Penn State Account via <http://orcid.identity.psu.edu/>.
- Log in to the Libraries’ Researcher’s Metadata Database https://metadata.libraries.psu.edu/profile/
- Connect the Metadata Database to your ORCID Account

- Authenticate to ORCID

- Authorize Metadata Database to write records to ORCID

- Add Organizations to ORCID (optional)

- Add Publications listed to ORCID

- View additions on the ORCID.org website

To add any content that is not in the Libraries' Researcher's Metadata Database, go to the ORCiD website (https://orcid.org/) and fill in the content manually through your ORCiD profile.
In many cases, when you write a grant, or submit a manuscript for publication, linking to your ORCiD ID is built into the workflow. For example, you can now populate your SciENcv biosketch is through an ORCID ID. You can also include it on your website and other creative achievements as you like. It is your ID!
