Scopus empowers organizations with unparalleled access to critical global research, which can be integrated with existing platforms to increase analysis and insights.
Its advanced suite of analytical tools helps users visualize, compare and export data to evaluate research output and trends, assisting in measuring research performance at the individual or institutional level, and helping inform strategic research decisions.
Enhance research visibility
Scopus Author Profiles offer new insights into the reach and influence of research, helping to build a reliable body of work to support career goals. Once a profile is validated, Scopus takes over, automatically populating it and continuously building on an author's credentials.
Scopus is the only database to blend automated and manually curated data to generate current author profiles. This process allows us to deliver over 17m profiles that support accurate author searches in the same way you can search for articles: efficiently and easily.
