Research

Having a Scopus Author ID gives you the following benefits:

• Automatic author identification within Scopus
• Allows you to easily see a list of your publications and view citation metrics such as h-index measures, citation counts, publications and co-authors.
• Scopus Author ID can be linked to ORCID so publications can be imported into your ORCID.

Scopus Author ID has the following limitations:

• Author profile information may not be accurate, however an author may give feedback to correct this. See link below for FAQs
• Only includes authors that have papers published in journals indexed by Scopus/Elsevier*
• Cannot attach publications from other sources to your Scopus Author ID

It is worth noting that there is no single tool for a researcher to gain a complete picture of their outputs and impact.

You will be automatically assigned a Scopus Author ID when you publish in a journal indexed by Scopus.
