A persistent, automatically updated record of your scholarly work

Import and Export Citations using BibTeX

BibTeX is a platform-independent, plain-text format used for bibliographic citations. BibTeX files can be created and edited using many popular reference management tools, such as Google Scholar Citations, EndNote, Papers, etc.

To import a list of works saved in a BibTeX file into your ORCID record:

  1. In the works section of your record, click the link for Add, and then select Add BibTeX.
  2. Click the Choose BibTeX File button to browse files on your computer, and then select the BibTeX (.bib) file you want to import.
  3. The publications from the file will appear in a list. Select the save icon (disk) next to a work to add the work individually, the delete icon (trash bin) to delete the work individually, or Save all to add all of the publications at once.
  4. The publications will appear listed under works in your record.
