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.
