How do I authorise DataCite to auto-update my ORCID record?

You can grant DataCite long-lasting permissions using their Import Tool from your ORCID record or directly at DataCite. To benefit from ORCID auto-update, you must also enable auto-update in your personal DataCite profile. Once it is enabled, whenever a data centre submits a new work to DataCite which has your ORCID iD embedded in the work metadata, DataCite will automatically add it to your ORCID record.

You can disable DataCite auto-update at any time from your DataCite profile, or by revoking permissions to DataCite from your ORCID account settings.

Grant (one-off) permission to DataCite to add your dataset to your ORCID record:

• Go to DataCite Profiles. Click 'Sign in':

• Sign in with your ORCID account and click ‘Authorize”.
• You will be asked to authorise access to allow DataCite access to your ORCID record.
• Once signed in, select "Click to Enable" next to "ORCID Auto-Update". You will then be prompted to allow DataCite to automatically add works to your ORCID record. Details here.

Important:

• ORCID auto-update only works if your ORCID iD is included in the "creators" field in the DOI metadata. If your ORCID iD is only included in the "contributor" metadata field, it will not be picked up by the auto-update. DataCite Support. 

Disabling auto-update: You can revoke permissions for auto-update at any time in the settings of your ORCID record.
