Build an academic CV from your OpenAlex profile
Sign in with ORCID and SigmaCV reads your OpenAlex record to assemble a clean, citation-formatted academic CV — matched to you by author identifier, ready to curate and export.
OpenAlex is one of the largest open catalogues of scholarly work, and SigmaCV turns your OpenAlex profile into a finished academic CV. Sign in with ORCID, SigmaCV resolves your OpenAlex author identifier, and your works are imported, formatted and ready to curate — no manual list-building.
The matching is by author identifier (your OpenAlex / ORCID ID), never by name string, so your CV reflects your work and not a near-namesake's. Any OpenAlex metrics are strictly opt-in and field-normalized, in line with DORA — off by default, never a journal Impact Factor.
- Your OpenAlex works imported automatically and matched by OpenAlex / ORCID author ID — never by name string.
- Metrics and grant fields from OpenAlex are available, opt-in and field-normalized — default none, DORA-aligned.
- Consistent CSL citations exported to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX or Markdown; free for individuals and open source.
We only read your public ORCID record — never post, never write anything back.
How to build a CV from OpenAlex
- Sign in with ORCID. SigmaCV uses your ORCID iD to resolve the correct OpenAlex author profile for you.
- Import your OpenAlex works. Your works are pulled in by identifier and turned into formatted CV entries automatically.
- Curate and (optionally) add metrics. Hide anything that isn't yours, reorder entries, and — only if you want — switch on field-normalized metrics.
- Export or publish. Export to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX or Markdown, or publish a living page that re-syncs from OpenAlex.
Why use your OpenAlex profile this way
OpenAlex gives you broad, open coverage of your publications, but a raw profile is not a CV. SigmaCV formats it into one — consistent citations, a layout of your choice, and your own name highlighted by identifier in author lists.
It is free for individuals and open source, reads only public metadata, and treats metrics responsibly: they stay off unless you opt in, and SigmaCV prefers field-normalized indicators over raw counts.
How does SigmaCV use my OpenAlex profile?
Sign in with your ORCID iD. SigmaCV resolves your OpenAlex author identifier, pulls your works and profile, and assembles them into a CV you can curate and export.
Does it match my publications by name?
No. SigmaCV matches works by author identifier (OpenAlex / ORCID ID), never by name string, which avoids the false matches common with shared or transliterated names.
What if my OpenAlex profile has errors?
You curate everything: mark wrongly attributed works as "not mine" (they are hidden, not deleted) and add missing ones by DOI. Your corrections shape your CV without altering OpenAlex.
Are OpenAlex metrics shown by default?
No. Metrics are off by default and fully opt-in. When enabled, SigmaCV prefers field-normalized indicators and never shows a journal Impact Factor.
Does it match my work by name?
No — by author identifier (OpenAlex / ORCID ID), which avoids the false matches common with shared or transliterated names.
