FAQ

First, be sure that you have authorized ORCID as a trusted connection. Click here to see how. If you have already done so, be sure that in ORCID, the visibility settings for the information is set at either "everyone" or "trusted parties" and not at "only me". 

Information imported into a Biosketch only happens once; it is not a live stream. That's why it's important to flesh out an ORCID or the My Bibliography section, because otherwise, they will have to be added manually.
