Your Symplectic Elements at Oxford (SE) record can now be linked to your ORCiD record.  This will enable SE to retrieve publication IDs from your ORCiD profile, use these IDs to find those publications in CrossRef, PubMed and Scopus, and claim those records for you automatically.

More importantly, future versions of SE will use your ORCiD to directly identify publications in a wide range of data sources and claim those records for you automatically.
