How Author Profile looks on Scopus
Author Profile Correction - Simple & Easy Scopus
The Author Evaluator Scopus
Citation Overview on Scopus for Authors Scopus
How are you being measured?
Which metric to use? Scopus
1. What level am I assessing?• Article, Journal, Researcher, Institution, etc.
2. What type of impact am I assessing?• Scientific, Clinical, Societal, Educational, etc.
3. What methods are available based on above?• Quantitative: citation, usage, media, h-index, SNIP, SJR, etc.• Qualitative: Peer-review, etc.
Bibliometrics (quantitative measures used to asses research output) Basic premise = Citation is a form of endorsement
Bibliometricians agree that no single metric can effectively capture the entire spectrum of research performance because no single metric can address all key variables
H-Index - Jorge E. Hirsch (Physicist, 2005) ScopusH-index accounts for a body of work
h-index is the highest number of a scholar’s papers, h, that have each received at least h citations
cited 22 times or more

Scopus continues to invest in expanding title list and regional coverage
More comprehensive coverage, no risk of missing crucial information. Proceedings give more current material.
YTD (Oct) Scopus added 2.3 million new records (+6.6%); current total number of records is 51.8 million
Scopus continues to prove its value by adding substantial amounts of new, curated content
Increased discoverability. Potentially more citations per paper. Potentially higher h-index
Books Expansion Program added25.000 new book titles in 2013.50.000 to follow over 2014 and 2015.
Increased breadth and depth of new books content
Increased discoverability.Potentially higher h-index scores for authors
Increase in export limitation from 2,000 to 20,000 documents

Scopus Author Identifiers that are associated with an ORCID profile, now link to ORCID and display all public information.
Scopus collaborates with important players in the industry
Better visibility of author publications in Scopus via ORCID
Re-design Scopus UIContinue to modernize the Scopus UI, meeting accessibility guidelines for getting government contracts in
Meets accessibility guidelines, less effort needed to train (new) users, makes Scopus more convenient to use for students
More intuitive way of searching, higher research efficiency
Integration with Mendeley
Scopus will offer users the option to export and save references into their Mendeley account
Integration with one of the leading new reference management tools
Easy to export large amount of documents/references to Mendeley
Redesign of Scopus User Interface
Key Changes :> The Scopus interface is more action driven. Items or icons will only
appear active when the user performs an action.
> It is easier to scan results on the Results page and to sort and export the chosen results.
> Author and Affiliation profiles are optimized for easier scanning, amongst other improvements.
> Additional ‘Advanced search’ fields for funding: FUND-SPONSOR (Funding sponsor), FUND-ACR(Sponsor acronym from FundRef), FUND-NO (Grant number) were added.
