Turn your ORCID iD into an academic CV
Sign in with ORCID and SigmaCV builds a clean, citation-formatted academic CV from your open research record — ready to curate and export.
Turning your ORCID iD into an academic CV usually means exporting a list and reformatting it by hand. SigmaCV does it automatically: sign in with ORCID and it reads your public record, pulls your publications from ORCID and OpenAlex, formats every citation consistently, and assembles a clean academic CV you can curate and export in minutes.
Your work is matched to you by your ORCID iD — a stable identifier, not your name as text — so you avoid the "someone else with my name" mix-ups that name-based tools produce, which matter most for common names and names in non-Latin scripts. Nothing is invented, and anything that isn't yours is one click away from being hidden.
- Publications pulled automatically from ORCID and OpenAlex — matched by identifier, never by name.
- Consistent citations in any CSL style, exported to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX or Markdown.
- Free for individuals and open source; you curate exactly what appears.
We only read your public ORCID record — never post, never write anything back.
How to turn your ORCID iD into a CV
- Sign in with your ORCID iD. Use the free ORCID login. SigmaCV reads only your public ORCID record — it never writes anything back to ORCID.
- Your CV fills itself in. SigmaCV resolves your OpenAlex author profile from your ORCID iD and assembles your publications — and, where available, your positions, education and funding — into a draft CV.
- Curate what's yours. Mark anything that isn't you as "not mine" (it is hidden, never deleted), reorder entries, and choose which sections appear.
- Style and export. Pick a citation style and template, optionally highlight your own name in author lists, then export to PDF, DOCX, LaTeX or Markdown — or publish a living page that re-syncs.
Why build your CV from ORCID with SigmaCV
ORCID is the reliable anchor for your scholarly identity, and SigmaCV uses it the way it was meant to be used: as an identifier that resolves to your work, not a name to be guessed at. That is the difference between a CV that is genuinely yours and one you spend an afternoon correcting.
It is free for individuals and open source, reads only public metadata, and keeps you in control of every entry. The same canonical CV exports to every format with identical, correctly formatted citations, so you never reformat a reference by hand again.
