How do I add my ORCID to papers authored by myself?

I don't know if it is possible to add your ORCID directly to the paper in question (probably not), but it is possible to link to the paper from your ORCID profile.

  • Go to your ORCID account (signing in if necessary)

  • This should bring up a page with your "Biography", which consists of several collapsible tabs (Education, Employment, Funding and Works).

  • Next to the Works tab, click on the button for "+ Add works".

  • You then have several different options to proceed. The quickest is "search and link" which allows you to search a database such as PubMed or CrossRef, find your paper, and add it to your profile. I won't go through the full details of each step, but if you follow the instructions on screen, it should hopefully guide you through.
