Scholarly Visibility & Impact

You can set a citation alert from your Author Details page in Scopus. You will need to create an account to do this. Click on Author under "Start Exploring" and enter your details to search for your work.

Review the result list to find a publication that you authored. Click on your name next to that publication. This will lead you to an Author Details page. At the far right of the page is a Profile Actions column where you can edit your author profile and connect your ORCID ID. Contact us if you need help with merging profiles, correcting errors (e.g. wrong ORCID ID, duplicate profiles) or removing works that you did not author.

At the bottom of the Profile Actions column there is an orange "Is this you?" button. Clicking on this will allow you to claim your profile. It will prompt you to log into Elsevier and will take you to a page where you can add further profile details. It is not necessary to claim your profile or create an Elsevier account to correct errors in your profile. This can be done from your Author Details page. The Scopus Author Details page also provides useful charts showing author output, citation overview, h-index and document & citation trends.

To view citation metrics navigate to "My Profile". These will be displayed in the far right column on your profile page. Google Scholar tends to have the most comprehensive record of citations.
