If any of your articles can be found in the Scopus database, you have a Scopus profile. These are automatically created by their system from the materials indexed in Scopus. This means you may have an account without having created one, and you cannot create one on your own.
You can search for yourself as an author in Scopus if you'd like to check for a profile. Your work is most likely to be findable in Scopus if you work in scientific fields or the social sciences.
If you have an author profile in Scopus, it may not be correct or complete. You may even have multiple profiles under different names or name variants. While you cannot control whether or not Scopus creates an author profile for you, you can control the profile(s) created, correcting, merging, and updating what is there.
Having an updated Scopus profile:
If you have a profile, consider updating it if any of the following are incorrect:
If you've published under multiple versions of your name (name change, initials, etc.), Scopus may have generated multiple author profiles for you over time. You can merge these by creating an account and taking control of your author profile.
If you have a profile that you want to correct and manage, create an account in Scopus. Remember that while you access Scopus through the Library with your UCCS account, you don't automatically have an account in Scopus itself.
Once you log into Scopus and locate your author profile, you should have an option to edit it.
You will have the ability to update your:
There are some limits to your update abilities. Remember that Scopus cannot find all publications. It can only locate articles in its curated list of journals. If you have published books or articles that aren't findable in Scopus, you won't be able to add them to this profile. You will also only be able to select universities named in the author credentials of your published works. If you haven't published since arriving at UCCS, you won't be able to affiliate yourself with our University in Scopus until you do.
If there are multiple author profiles that contain your research, use the "request to merge authors" feature from your author search results. You will be able to choose your preferred name and select which publications should be in the merged profile.
