Create & Claim Author/Researcher/Scholar Profiles

A guide for faculty outlining the researcher profiles in various databases and providing information on how to establish and maintain them.

Scopus

A ​Scopus Author Profile is a unique record of a researcher's publications that are indexed in Elsevier's Scopus and ScienceDirect products. A Scopus Author Profile is automatically generated when at least one article by this author is indexed in Scopus. It includes a Scopus Author ID, an 11-digit unique identifier. Additional articles are added to the Scopus Author Profile by an algorithm based on the document's metadata supplied during publication.

Identifying and Maintaining Your Scopus Profile

Take these steps to help ensure your Scopus Author Profile is accurate: 

  1. Go to Scopus Author Feedback Wizard. You will be prompted to create a Scopus account, or log in if you already have one. 
  2. Once you have located your Author Record(s) you can request to set a preferred name, merge profiles, update affiliation, and add and remove documents. Note - Scopus Author Profile only permits addition of documents that are indexed in Scopus.  
  3. Link to your ORCID account. This permits you to import publications and author details from Scopus into your ORCID account. It can help with accuracy of your Scopus Author Profile.
