Your Author Profile

Profiles are automatically created using metadata from published documents, therefore profiles cannot be changed by Scopus users. However, a user can request corrections to a profile if:

A publication indexed in Scopus has been wrongly assigned.
The preferred name used to display the profile needs to be changed.
A primary affiliation should be chosen from those extracted from the documents.
Some documents indexed in Scopus are missing from the profile.

If any corrections are required, use the Author Feedback Wizard to send a request. If an author has publications that do not appear on their Scopus Author Profile, this may be because they are not indexed in Scopus. For information about requesting the addition of a document, refer to How do I request to add a missing document?. If the Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board determines that the document meets the criteria for inclusion in Scopus, it is added and appears on the Scopus Author Profile.

Connecting Your Scopus Profile to Other Platforms

You can export your author profile from Scopus to use in other platforms, such as NIH My Bibliography and SciENcv.
Locate your profile in Scopus by running an author search.

You can search using your first name, last name, affiliation or ORCID iD.

Once you have found your profile, click on your author name to open up the ‘Author page’.
Once the author page opens, you should first copy or write down the profile’s URL so you can share it on NIH RePORTER later.
On the author page, click ‘Export’ located below in the published documents section.
When the popup window appears, select:

RIS Format
Citation information only

Click ‘Export’.

When an ORCID is associated with a Scopus profile, viewers can see the link to that ORCID on the author details page. Note that connecting your Scopus profile to ORCiD does not create an automatic feed from Scopus to ORCiD or vice versa. Users still need to manually import newly published articles to ORCiD on a regular basis.

Scopus Researcher Discovery

A direct and data driven approach to discover and connect with researchers using a keyword search.

Collaboration is a key ingredient to innovation and solving big societal problems, so we are enhancing the Scopus researcher discovery and networking capabilities. This pilot version, limited to select users, can help you find and connect with researchers from around the globe.

Researcher Discovery includes a keyword search, which matches your terms against our database of 17m authors by searching through their documents, skipping the documents and taking you straight to the researchers behind them. To shortlist the results, we have also introduced a range of metrics and filters on the results page.
