"Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research" (Elsevier ).Many authors have similar names. The Scopus Author Identifier distinguishes between these names by assigning each author in Scopus a unique number and grouping together all of the documents written by that author.This feature is especially useful for distinguishing between authors who share very common names like Smith or Wang or Lee.
You will be automatically assigned a Scopus Author ID when you publish in a journal indexed by Scopus.
