Create Your Biosketch with SciENcv

To create a new biosketch using your ORCID information, go back to your SciEncv account, sign in if you are not already signed in, and follow these steps: 

1. Click "Create New Document". 
   • Give your new biosketch a name (e.g., "EM 2022 NSF")
   • For Format, select “NSF Biosketch” (if you would like to create an NIH biosketch, select "NIH Biosketch" instead)
   • For Choose Data Source, select “External source: ORCID” (Once you have created your first biosketch in SciENcv, you can select “Existing Biosketch” and use a previous biosketch as a template, saving you from having to re-do the process described below)
     ***Note: Your biosketch will not dynamically update as you make updates to your ORCID profile - you will want to create your Biosketch after your ORCID profile is up to date.***
   • For Sharing, choose if you want the biosketch to be public or private.  You can always change the sharing settings. 
   • Click “Create”
     
      
2. SciENcv will automatically pull from ORCID to populate your new biosketch. This may take a few minutes.  Every information added to your new SciENcv biosketch can be edited or removed.
    
3. Scroll down to section C. Products - this section name will be different for other Biosketch Formats  Click the "Select citations" link for the subsection in which you want to add items.
   
    
4. Select the ORCID tab. Select the articles you want displayed in this biosketch. You will also have the option of selecting from your My Bibliography or previously edited citations as well.  Once you have checked the ones you want, select "Save citations."
   
    
5. The articles you selected should then appear in Section C. You can edit this section at any time using the "Select citations" option.

This new CV will now appear on your SciENcv documents list.  Remember that the more you fill in your ORCID profile, the more you will be able to pull automatically into SciENcv when you create a biosketch.
