The Challenge: Scholarly Name Ambiguity

Many researchers that too closely resemble one another.

Researchers publish under name variations.

Dr. Lee Dr. Lee Dr. Lee Dr. Lee Dr. J. Lee Dr. James Lee

The Solution: The ORCID Registry

Dr. Lee Dr. J. Lee Dr. James Lee

Open Research and Contributor ID (ORCID)Aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in research and scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers

How Author Profile looks on Scopus

Author Profile Correction - Simple & Easy Scopus

The Author Evaluator Scopus

Citation Overview on Scopus for Authors Scopus

How are you being measured?

Which metric to use? Scopus

1. What level am I assessing?• Article, Journal, Researcher, Institution, etc.

2. What type of impact am I assessing?• Scientific, Clinical, Societal, Educational, etc.

3. What methods are available based on above?• Quantitative: citation, usage, media, h-index, SNIP, SJR, etc.• Qualitative: Peer-review, etc.

Bibliometrics (quantitative measures used to asses research output) Basic premise = Citation is a form of endorsement

Bibliometricians agree that no single metric can effectively capture the entire spectrum of research performance because no single metric can address all key variables

H-Index - Jorge E. Hirsch (Physicist, 2005) ScopusH-index accounts for a body of work

h-index is the highest number of a scholar’s papers, h, that have each received at least h citations

cited 22 times or more

4.8% growth in the number of titles covered in Scopus

6.6% growth in the number of Scopus records

Export limits increased

Description Buyer benefits User benefits

1,000 new journals and proceedings will have been added by the end of 2013

Scopus continues to invest in expanding title list and regional coverage

More comprehensive coverage, no risk of missing crucial information. Proceedings give more current material.

YTD (Oct) Scopus added 2.3 million new records (+6.6%); current total number of records is 51.8 million

Scopus continues to prove its value by adding substantial amounts of new, curated content

Increased discoverability. Potentially more citations per paper. Potentially higher h-index

Books Expansion Program added25.000 new book titles in 2013.50.000 to follow over 2014 and 2015.

Increased breadth and depth of new books content

Increased discoverability.Potentially higher h-index scores for authors

Increase in export limitation from 2,000 to 20,000 documents

Easier to download larger amounts of data for evaluation purposes

Easier to download larger amounts of data for evaluation purposes

Increasedintegrationw/ORCID

Scopus Author Identifiers that are associated with an ORCID profile, now link to ORCID and display all public information.

Scopus collaborates with important players in the industry

Better visibility of author publications in Scopus via ORCID

Re-design Scopus UIContinue to modernize the Scopus UI, meeting accessibility guidelines for getting government contracts in

Meets accessibility guidelines, less effort needed to train (new) users, makes Scopus more convenient to use for students

More intuitive way of searching, higher research efficiency

Integration with Mendeley

Scopus will offer users the option to export and save references into their Mendeley account

Integration with one of the leading new reference management tools

Easy to export large amount of documents/references to Mendeley

Redesign of Scopus User Interface

Key Changes :> The Scopus interface is more action driven. Items or icons will only

appear active when the user performs an action.

> It is easier to scan results on the Results page and to sort and export the chosen results.

> Author and Affiliation profiles are optimized for easier scanning, amongst other improvements.

> Additional ‘Advanced search’ fields for funding: FUND-SPONSOR (Funding sponsor), FUND-ACR(Sponsor acronym from FundRef), FUND-NO (Grant number) were added.
