ORCID has several controls in place to discourage more than one ORCID iD for a researcher. When you register, they check for duplicates based on the name and only one ORCID iD per email address is allowed.
However, it is possible you have more than one ORCID iD. You can remove your duplicate ORCID iD:
Please note: all information and permissions from the duplicate record will be deleted, and the associated email address(es) will be added to the primary record.
When you have a Google Scholar Profile, you can download that list and upload it in your ORCID record.
Please note: Google Scholar has no article identifiers like DOI or PubMed ID. To make full use of ORCID, the records should have a DOI or another identifier.

If works are added from multiple sources or added manually, they are automatically grouped together when they have a common identifier, like a DOI. In your private ORCID record you will see 'Preferred source (of x)' at the bottom of the record. You can set the preferred source, by clicking 'Make preferred source'.
If the works are not grouped together, because they have different or no identifiers, you can group them together manually:
When you add a publication manually to your ORCID record, there is no field to include the names of your co-authors. If you want to add this information, you can add a reference to your publication (for example in the APA style) in the Citation field of the item.
Publications added via Search & Link wizards or via the auto-update of Crossref contain a list of all authors, under the header Contributors.
You can sign in to your ORCID record with your ORCID iD or email address and the password you created. It's also possible to sign in with your EUR login credentials.
In your Account Settings, you can see the Alternate sign in Accounts. There is also the option to unlink the accounts.
If you want to login to your ORCID record, you can now use the Access through your institution option or your ORCID credentials.
Please note: creating this link doesn't send data from ORCID to any EUR system or vice versa.
You can also sign into ORCID using your Facebook or Google login, after linking the Facebook or Google account to your ORCID.
Yes! You can make an online appointment with the Erasmus Library ORCID Team. A team member will support you in adding publications to your ORCID record.
It's possible to create a QR code - a machine-readable graphic - that links to your ORCID record. You can add it for example to a poster you present at a conference - visitors can scan the code with a QR code reader on their mobile phone and are redirected to your ORCID record.
Under Account settings (accessible by clicking the arrow next to your name at the top of the page) you can set your notification preferences: when to receive information from ORCID. Open Email frequency and select how often you like to receive summary emails from ORCID.
For the option 'ORCID members wanting your permission to automatically update your record' we recommend choosing one of the summary options, to make sure you will receive the request from Crossref for permission to auto-update your record.
