Scopus Researcher/Author Profile

Scopus Researcher/Author Profile

Go to https://www.scopus.com/search/form.uri?display=basic#basic.

Scopus Author Profile can be indexed in Scopus and is automatically created when you publish.

Scopus automatically creates your identity based on your name, email, institution, subject area and citations.

Note: If you do not have a work indexed in Scopus, you do not have a Scopus ID. In this case, you cannot register for a Scopus ID or request an ID.

Note: In order to perform transactions off-campus, you must configure your off-campus access settings. To configure your off-campus access settings, please click here.

Finding a Scopus ID

Enter your name in the Scopus Authors search field and click the search button.

All authors with works with the same or similar names as you in Scopus are shown.

If you see multiple Scopus IDs associated with your name, you can merge them into one.

If you are publishing under different and multiple names, you will need to search and review the profiles to check and merge the information for each name.

Making Changes to Scopus ID

You will need to create an Elsevier account to request changes to your author profile.

An Elsevier account is not a profile or identity. It gives you access to more features in Scopus and other Elsevier products.

After logging in to Scopus, click on the “Create Account” option in the top right corner of the page. Select Sign in through your institution to create your account and log in with your institution’s Off-Campus Access system.

Merging Multiple Identities in Scopus

When you search for an author, you may encounter more than one ID assigned to your name.

This may occur due to publications you made with different first and last names or at different institutions.

Merging Identities with Search Results

If you encounter more than one name in the search, the steps you need to take are to click on the names that appear to open their profiles and check whether your work is listed.

Select the boxes next to the Author name you want to merge in the search result and then select “Request to merge authors” at the top of the results.

Merging Potential Author Matches

Scopus displays other profiles similar to yours in the "Potential Author Matches" section. You can review these profiles to identify those that belong to you and request that they be merged with your own profile.

Potential author matches also display some profiles that are similar to yours. You can view similar profiles. If the profile belongs to you, you can request that it be merged with your ID.

For more information, use the “Scopus Author Feedback Wizard”.

After you request an author merge, it can take a few weeks for your profile and ID to be updated.

For more information, see the guide titled “Scopus Process After Submitting a Missing Content or Data Correction Request”.
