Scholar Profiles and Identifiers

A Scopus Author profile is created automatically when two or more articles indexed in Elsevier's Scopus abstract and citation database are linked to one name. Algorithmic data processing matches articles to existing author profiles based on name, email, affiliation, subject area, citations and co-authors.

Scopus algorithmic profiling can rarely match all documents to a single profile with 100% accuracy. The Scopus Author Feedback Wizard allows researchers to review their Scopus profiles, set a preferred name, merge duplicate profiles, update affiliation information, add and remove documents, and submit feedback.

1. Locate your Author details page using the Scopus Author Feedback Wizard
2. Verify your author details are correct
3. Create a Scopus account so you can request corrections if needed
4. Request corrections to your Scopus Author Profile

Additional information about Author Profiles can be found on Elsevier's Scopus LibGuide.

Linking your Scopus ID with ORCID will allow you to transfer publication details from Scopus into your ORCID record.

Option 1: Linking ORCID from Scopus Author ID

• Go to Scopus Author search
• Search by your name and university in the affiliation field
• Select your name in the results list to open your profile page. NB: You won’t find a Scopus Author ID if you don’t have works already indexed by Scopus
• If you do have a Scopus Author ID, select "Connect to ORCID" (located in "Profile Actions")
• Follow the steps to associate your Scopus Author ID with your ORCID record

Option 2: Linking Scopus Author ID from ORCID

• Login to your ORCID record
• In the Works section, select "Add works" and then "Search & link"
• Select Scopus Elsevier from the list and authorize
• Follow the steps to associate your Scopus profile and works with ORCID
