Scopus Author Identifier: What is it and how does it work?
Steve Petric Senior Product Manager, Scopus Date: May 2009 IRBW2009 Workshop
Accurate Author searching is still a challenge
• • •
How do you distinguish between published research belonging to authors who share the same name? How can you be confident that your search has captured all results for an author when their name is recorded in different ways? Can you be sure that names with unusual characters such as accents have been included?
What is Scopus Author Identifier?
•
The Author Search in Scopus allows you to locate a particular author simply by entering the author’s last name and an initial or first name and then click on Search. You will be presented with the preferred author name and name variants that are grouped into an author profile.
•
•
All results include the number of documents that an author has published. You can choose to display the results alphabetically or by document count
How does it work?
•
Identification Criteria – Beyond the author’s name and name variants it uses additional data elements associated with the author’s articles such as affiliation, publication history, source title, subject area and co-authors. Quality Measures – If it is not 99% certain that the document belongs to a specific author it will not be assigned to that author. (Precision) – Documents that do not contain enough data elements to match them with 99% confidence will appear as separate listings in the author search results. – Scopus has successfully matched 95% of an author’s documents with the Author Identifier. (Recall)
•
How does it work?
•
Continuous Improvement – To even further improve the 95% recall, the sophisticated algorithms behind the Author Identifier are continually being fine tuned as more data becomes available. Author Feedback – A robust feedback process, including verification checks to update records where additional information is supplied by the user. – A feedback link on the Author Details page allows authors to check their details and inform us if information needs to be adjusted. As a result, the Scopus Author Identifier enables users to search for an author’s work with confidence and gives them access to information associated with that author, all from one overview.
