What should you import from ORCID into a resume? The publications should come from ORCID, and in our experience little else on the record is current. An ORCID record is usually excellent on publications and patchy on everything else, because employment and education entries are written once and rarely revisited, and a resume built from them inherits the gaps.
Axe Builder, our resume builder for researchers, turns an ORCID iD into an academic resume with citations, h-index, journal quartiles and Crossref data already in place. Since 12 June 2026, its ORCID import carries the publication list and the funding record, and nothing else. Employment and education come from the CV you keep yourself, the document that is current on the day you upload it, so each kind of data arrives from the source that maintains it best.
Why we chose the stricter rule
We chose it because a stale affiliation on the first page costs a candidate more than a missing one. When Axe Talent verifies a researcher for a university, the employment history is checked against the candidate’s own words and documents, never against a registry, and the builder follows the same rule.
