Characteristics of the author profile in Scopus:

The author profile in Scopus is created automatically once the authors articles appear in Scopus. The main name of the profile corresponds to the signature of the most recent article in the profile. It is important to choose the right name, which differentiates us from other researchers with a similar name. The institutional affiliation of the profile helps to identify the author and provides visibility to the institution.

The Scopus Author Identifier assigns a unique number to groups of documents written by the same author through an algorithm that matches authorship based on their affiliation, address, subject area, source title, publication dates, citations, and co-authors. … Documents with insufficient data may not match, which may result in more than one hit list entry for the same author.

Features:

• It includes the list of your publications in Scopus, with the list of references cited and those that cite you, within this database.
• The author’s H-index is calculated with publications indexed in Scopus since 1970.
• It allows to export publications to bibliographic managers, in different formats and also direct export in CVN format from FECYT.
• It is possible to export the profile to SciVal, Scopus’s bibliometric tool, to analyze the set of publications in more detail.
• Provides multiple charts to display citation metrics. You can see the citation overview report in Analyze author output or View citation overview.
• It allows to generate alerts to follow the citations or new publications of an author.
