A Scopus profile links to a unique Scopus ID assigned to an author to help identify and link the author's publications. The author profile also allows you to track your publications, view citation metrics, locate your co-authors, and get an overview of your research activities. The Scopus ID can also be linked to your ORCID so your publications can be imported into your ORCID profile.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have several publishing name variants or have changed affiliation (including concurrent affiliations), your publications may be fragmented with a number of different Scopus IDs that the database has created for you. If you have multiple Scopus IDs, it is important to report this to Scopus so that your author details are up to date, and your publications and author metrics are correctly attributed to you. Additionally, if you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/discover.academics.yorku.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover York Academics (DYA) profile<\/a>, maintaining a Scopus profile will allow your DYA profile to be populated with the most up-to-date publication and grant information.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updating Your Scopus ID<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Look up your Scopus ID<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ocul-yor.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/permalink\/01OCUL_YOR\/1jocqcq\/alma991036244549105164\">Scopus<\/a> database. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the \"Authors\" search tab and enter your last name and first name.
