Content Policy Scopus aims to be the most comprehensive single point
of access for STM and social science information
Additions to content are defined by user demand and prioritized by Content Selection Committee of Scientists and subject librarians
We welcome electronic-only sources including Open Access journals (currently 535 OA titles indexed)
Scopus covers journals from all geographical regions including non-English titles (with English abstracts)

Author searching: The Problem
How to distinguish between an author’s articles and
those of another authors sharing the same name?
How to group an author’s articles together when his or
her name has been recorded in different ways? (e.g.
Stambrook, P and Stambrook, P.J.)
31
Solving the Problem
We have approached solving these problems by using the data available in the publication records such as…
• Author Names Affiliation Co-authors Self citations Source title Subject area
…and used this data to group articles that belong to
a specific author.
So how does Author Identifier work?
32
Use the Author Search to find an author of interest
