Author Search Tutorial
Scopus is a great place to look for information about a particular author's published works. You can start your search for information on Scopus's main search page by clicking "Authors." While Scopus is a compilation of peer-reviewed articles, it is not comprehensive, so keep in mind that you will only see information about the articles that have been indexed into Scopus.
Type in the author's last name, and first name if it will be helpful to locate them. It is often a good idea to put an Affiliation as well.
The author's information will appear. To see all their published work that has been indexed into Scopus, click the box in front of their name and then click "Show documents."
If you are checking on your own citations and notice that you have more than one listing, click "Request to merge authors."
If this is your information and there are multiple BOXES for your name, you can merge them by clicking the "Request to merge authors" link and following the steps.
For a visual representation of this author's work, click the box for All, then "View citation information."
Set alerts
You can have Scopus email you when articles by a particular author are newly indexed into Scopus. To do this, click on the Scopus logo so you are brought back to the main search screen, then click on either the bell icon or the words "set alert."
