Export and re-use your data

All of your data, whether it is outputs, grants, impact or professional activities, can be exported and re-used in various ways.

Export your data

You may want to use your data in a CV or grant application, or to import into reference management software or other services such as Mendeley or ResearchGate.

• Open the list of items that you want to export (e.g. your outputs list).

• To export all items, click the Export button at the top of the list and choose one of the available export formats.

• To export only specific items, first use the checkboxes next to the titles before clicking the Export button.

Automatically send outputs to your University web profile page

myPublications can automatically keep your University staff profile page up to date.

• Avoid having to manually curate an outputs list on your website - saves time for you (or someone else), reduces errors, and ensures it's always up to date.

• You can control which outputs are displayed.

• Includes a link to the output on the publisher's website, and to the open access version in our repository.

• Optional 'Featured publications' section showcasing favourited publications.

A small amount of work is needed for the initial set up, but then upkeep is minimal. Speak to your departmental web manager in the first instance, asking them to configure your staff profile page to use myPublications data.

Outputs are formatted in accordance with the APA referencing style. Publishers often vary in their use of capitalisation or abbreviated journal names. If your output has been found in more than one online database then you can choose your preferred source on the output record.

Automatically send outputs to your ORCID profile

An ORCID ID is a unique identifier that ensures your work can be easily distinguished from others. Your ORCID ID belongs to you and stays with you throughout your career, wherever in the world you work. They are increasingly being requested by research publishers and funders.

When someone clicks on your ORCID ID they are taken to your ORCID profile page. This can display your contact details, career history, publications, grants, and other information. You determine the privacy settings and what information is shared.

myPublications can now read outputs from, and write outputs to, your ORCID profile. Go to My Profile > Settings > ORCID Settings.

• Click Register or Connect your ORCID ID to be taken to the ORCID website. Either sign-in to your account or create a new one. You will then be asked to authorise myPublications to connect with your account. Click 'Authorize'.

Once you have established a connection, you can select the level of integration. It is entirely your choice which to use:

• Read from and write publication data to my ORCID account: sends outputs from myPublications to ORCID and reads information from your ORCID record to improve the accuracy of your search results. You can configure which outputs to send, including limiting to favourites or excluding hidden outputs. If this option is greyed out then click the Reconnect your ORCID ID button to reauthenticate.

• Read data from my ORCID account: reads information from your ORCID record to improve the accuracy of your search results but does not send output data to ORCID.

• Only use my ORCID iD to support automatic claiming: myPublications will neither read from nor write to your ORCID account, but will configure the ID for automatic claiming.

Click the Send affiliation button to create an employment record on your ORCID profile with the affiliation of 'University of Sheffield'.
