# Manual import of ORCID publications into IRIS

<p class="callout warning">FBM members are requested not to import their references and to contact <open.access@chuv.ch>.</p>

If a publication is detected on your ORCID profile, you should receive a notification in IRIS suggesting that publications are available for import. Click on "review the suggestions" to begin the import process.[![image.png](https://wiki.unil.ch/recherche/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/NbYimage.png)](https://wiki.unil.ch/recherche/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/NbYimage.png)

#### Selecting Publications to Import

1. IRIS will then display a list of publications retrieved from ORCID. If any of the publications do not concern you, simply click “This record does not concern me.” [![image.png](https://wiki.unil.ch/recherche/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/o1bimage.png)](https://wiki.unil.ch/recherche/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/o1bimage.png)
2. If, on the contrary, you wish to import one or several of them, check the corresponding box(es), then click “Accept and create draft.” [![image.png](https://wiki.unil.ch/recherche/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/0olimage.png)](https://wiki.unil.ch/recherche/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/0olimage.png)

#### Creation in IRIS

Once this is done, you will be redirected to your workspace, where the imported publications will appear under “Submission in progress”, in the “Records I Created” section. At this stage, you can still edit the publication before publishing it.
