When searching for your name on Scopus, it may be possible that you will retrieve multiple profiles that belong to you. This may be due to discrepancies caused by different name variants or affiliation names.
In this case, you can select your relevant profiles and click on 'request to merge authors' to make changes to your profile. You will need an Elsevier account to complete this process.
