Scopus Author Profile
Your Scopus Author Identifier is a valuable addition to your ORCID profile if you have publications indexed by Scopus. We recommend that you review your Scopus Author Profile and Affiliation Profile periodically to ensure your Scopus profiles are up to date with the latest publications and citations.
About Scopus Author Profile
Scopus Author Profile collates publications you have authored, and the Scopus database indexes these in one author profile.
Your profile will include:
- a list of your publications (from which you can view article-level metrics)
- details about your citations and co-authors
- your h-index
- your altmetrics via PlumX on Scopus
Scopus matches author names based on their affiliation, address, subject area, source title, dates of publications and co-authors.
Scopus automatically generates your Scopus Author ID when you have a publication indexed in the Scopus database, so no registration or account generation is required. If you have not published in a journal indexed in the Scopus database, you will not have any Author ID, or you may have multiple Author IDs if you have published with multiple affiliations.
If you cannot find a publication, there is a problem with the citation count, or you have feedback, contact the Scopus Support Center.
