Scopus uses an algorithm to determine which identifiers should be assigned to author names, however it sometimes makes mistakes.
If you have publications indexed in Scopus, it is important to check:
- You have been assigned a single Scopus Author Identifier,
- All your publications have been assigned your Author ID, and
- Your Scopus author profile details are correct.
This will ensure that your:
- Publications are easy to find,
- Citation metrics in Scopus, such as your total citation count and h-index, are correct, and
- List of publications in Scopus, and possibly used on other websites via feeds, is complete.
