What is Scopus Author ID and what are its advantages?
A proprietary system from Elsevier integrated within Scopus and ScienceDirect.
Distinguishes among similar names by assigning each author in Scopus a unique identifier and grouping all of the documents written by the author.
Automatically created by Scopus when at least one publication by an author is indexed in Scopus; hence registration is not required.
Additional articles are added to the Scopus Author Profile by an algorithm based on the document's metadata supplied during publication including author's name, affiliation, and subject areas.
Having a Scopus Author ID 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.
Can be linked to ORCID iD so your publications can be imported into your ORCID.
