Scopus, an Elsevier product, is a multidisciplinary scientific database that indexes content from more than 24,000 active titles and 5,000 publishers. It includes journal articles, patents, conference proceedings, and books in the physical sciences, health sciences, life sciences, and social sciences. Journal coverage ranges from 1788 to the present.
Introduced in 2006, the SCOPUS Author Identifier is automatically generated for you once you have any publications indexed in Scopus, and the numeric Author Identifier is unique and persistent. Since the algorithm automatically creates an Author Identifier whenever it detects a slight variation in the author or affiliation information, it is possible that you may have multiple Author Identifiers, so it is important for you to review your publications and merge duplicate profiles under one Author Identifier.
