Scholarly Profiles and Identifiers

Learn how to set up, maintain, and link together key researcher profiles and identifiers, such as ORCID iD and Scopus Author Profile.

Manage your Scopus Author Profile

Get Started

Find your Scopus Author ID

A Scopus Author ID is automatically generated the first time one of your publications is indexed in Scopus. You can find your Scopus Author Profile and ID by searching in the database (see the tutorial below). 

You may need to merge multiple author profiles in Scopus that are yours. To find your Scopus profile and merge multiple profiles, follow the steps below. 

Edit your Profile

This is optional, but you should definitely do this if there are inaccurate documents listed under your profile. You can also:

  • Search and add documents to your profile
  • Select a different name preference
  • Select a different affiliation

Keep in mind, none of these fields can be freely edited; you can select the name variation based on how the publishers have listed your name and affiliation. 

Connect to ORCID

From your Author Details page*, click on ‘Connect to ORCID’. This will open the Scopus - ORCID merging process (you will be prompted to login or create an account with ORCID.)

*Accessed by clicking on your name when it appears in a search results list or from selecting the author from an author search, a source document details page, or a document details page.
