Q. How do I make corrections to my author profile in Scopus?

Scopus author profiles are automatically generated when an author publishes content that is indexed in Scopus.

Each profile is assigned a unique number (Scopus Author Identifier), and Scopus uses an algorithm to match publications with the author profiles based on various data elements associated with the item, such as:

• Affiliation
• Subject matter
• Co-authors
• Publication history

However, errors can occur that may result in:

• Multiple profiles for a single author
• Articles needing to be added/removed from an author profile
• Incorrect spelling of a name

• Incorrect or out of date affiliation details

Detailed instructions for managing your Researcher Identifiers on Web of Science and other platforms are available in the Library’s Research Identifiers guide.​
