If you have a Google Scholar Profile, ResearcherID, or Scopus Author ID, you may import your publication records from those systems into your ORCID account. You may also export your records from AIMS into your ORCID account.
AIMS
You may export your publication records from AIMS account in BibTeX files and import the BibTeX files into your ORCID.
Please note that over 140,000 pre-2017 records migrated to AIMS from the previous decommissioned system OPIS (Online Publication Input System) had been mapped against (whenever there were matches) the Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus during the transition. As there was no validation procedure prior to 2017, you may wish to check the accuracy of these migrated records before sending them to ORCID. In case you want to modify any of these migrated records in AIMS, please send in a “Change Request” or contact researchportal@lib.cuhk.edu.hk, we will be happy to assist you on the matter.

Scopus Author ID
The Scopus Author ID is specific to Elsevier and is used in Scopus. The Scopus Author ID automatically assigns a unique identifier to authors with publications indexed in Scopus via an algorithm based on certain criteria. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see multiple Scopus Author IDs being assigned to the same author. In other words, you may have multiple IDs in Scopus if you published your works under different names and affiliations. Scopus provides citation metrics to a list of publications grouped under a Scopus Author ID, thus you can be benefited from having one single Scopus Author ID. Scopus has developed an author feedback wizard to guide users to merge multiple Scopus Author IDs into one profile and edit documents. You may also send a list of your publications from your Scopus Author ID to ORCID.
Sign into your ORCID account. Under the "Works" section, click "+ Add" and "Search & link".
Select and click "Scopus – Elsevier" on the list of databases
Enter your name in the text boxes. If you want to narrow down the search, you may add affiliation. And then Click "Start"
Select your Scopus profile and click "Next"
Select your preferred profile name from the drop-down menu and click "Next"
Review the publication list and indicate which publications are yours. To add other publication to the list, click "Search for missing documents"
Enter your email address to which Scopus will send notification, and then click "Send Author ID"
Click "Send my publication list" to complete the importing
