The first step is to create a Google account. It is recommended that you use a personal Google account rather than one that was issued by your home institution so that you can maintain access if you take a position at a new institution. Go to Google Scholar. Enter your information. On the next page you will be shown citations that Google Scholar located using your name.
You can find more information about Scholar profile setup on the Google Scholar website.
Review your publications results list as generated by Google for accuracy and completion. If publications are missing, you can add their metadata manually. You will do this on Google Scholar, so that you can then export a BibTeX file that can be used to upload your citations to your ORCID profile.
You can find more information about curating your citations on Google Scholar on their website.
If you would like to use the metadata for your citations from Google Scholar to populate other academic profiles such as OrcID, you can export your citations as a BibTeX file. This file can then be uploaded to OrcID to populate that profile.
ORCiD is a nonprofit organization that provides unique, persistent identifiers to academics and researchers that can be used to connect their scholarship and academic identity across platforms and publications.
To add a trusted individual, such as an assistant or law librarian, to your ORCID profile, please see this guide on the ORCiD knowledgebase. This will allow the individual to curate and maintain your ORCID profile, adding biographical and professional information, and curating details of your scholarly output.
