Scopus

Scopus is a comprehensive abstract and citation database with enriched data and linked scholarly literature across a wide variety of disciplines. It identifies experts and provides access to reliable data, metrics and analytical tools.

Author search

To search for an author, select the 'Authors' tab [1]. From the 'Search using' dropdown [2], select 'Author name' to search by name or select 'ORCID' to search by ORCID number. When searching by author name, the last name of the author is required [3]. You can also enter a first name or initials, and an affiliation name to further narrow your results [4].
