9. How to find collaborators?

10. Our profiling strategy • Unlike the competition that relies completely on manual input from users, our strategy with regard to author disambiguation is to algorithmically produce the best qualitative profiles possible for every single author captured in Scopus. • And, at the same time provide easy to use tools to the researchers community to feed back their manual input to increase the accuracy of their respective profiles. • Scopus profiles are: • Comprehensive (~18M Author and 8.5M Affiliation Profiles) • Easy to integrate (via RSS or the Scopus APIs) • Widely used (interoperable with ORCID, VIVO) • Algorithmically created and can be manually updated and corrected

11. The Universe of Research The most powerful ALGORITHMICdata processing in the industry MANUALfeedback via the Author Feedback Wizard Combinesthe starting point from the algorithm profiles and the manual feedback to create the most accurate profiles with the least effort. Groups papers to a profile with high degree of accuracy based on matching of name, email, affiliation, subject area, citations, co-authors,... Scopus Author Profiles

12. Scopus metadata that is used in algorithmic Author Profile creation: • Title • Abstract • Author, Co-Author • Citations • Keywords • Affiliation • Department (if available) • Source • ASJC classification • Publication date

13. Scopus Author Profile Page (new format coming this month)

14. And Author feedback got easier and faster… • Of the 8,634requests processed in April. • 7,411 incidents were Author Profile requests submitted via the Wizard. The average turnaround time for these 7,411 requests was 2.92 days. • 5,472 Wizard requests could be processed automatically via automatic workflow • 1,939 Wizard requests needed manual intervention • 53 Wizard requests did not fully appear online and were completely or partly rejected.

16. Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID)

17. What is the Challenge? Scholarly Name Ambiguity Many researchers that too closely resemble one another. Researchers publish under name variations. Dr. Smith Dr. Smith Dr. Smith Dr. Smith Dr. J. Smith Dr. James Smith

18. What is the solution? ORCID! ORCID, the Original Researcher Contributor ID, provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.

20. ORCID has been gaining users – and using Elsevier systems!

21. How is Elsevier involved with ORCID? • Elsevier is one of the industry sponsors of the ORCID initiative, and has representation on the Board • EES (EVISE), Elsevier Editorial System, has integrated with ORCID to capture (and assign) ORCIDs at the time of submission • Scopus allows users to import papers from Scopus to ORCID (or vice versa) and has other functionality related to ORCID • Add to ORCID is on Author Profile page • ORCID will appear on Author Profile page as of May 2014 release • Will be able to search on ORCID as of September 2014 release Three main goals: • Ensure interoperability between ORCID and Scopus Author ID • Ensure ORCID data enhances the quality of Scopus author profiles • Enable use of ORCIDs during Manuscript submission

22. Russia is in top 5 of countries using Scopus to claim articles for their ORCID profile (Feb – April 2014)

23. Who is using Scopus data?

24. Scopus penetration per country (2012 Analysis, by customer count) Low Penetration Mid-level Penetration High Penetration

25. Scopus Leading research institutes use Scopus Non-Scopus

26. Leading organizations rely on Scopus Australian Research Council 150 funding bodies use Scopus data

27. Custom analytics For an overview of all custom reports, see: http://info.scival.com/resource-library

28. Journal Metrics

29. Differences in citation potential between fields Molecular Biology Mathematics Reference lists % of papers Number of received citations

30. More accuracy, transparency, more metrics www.journalmetrics.com/

31. SNIP: Source-normalized impact per paper All 20K journals have a Source-normalized impact per paper (SNIP) measuring contextual citation impact by weighting citations per subject field - Peer-reviewed papers only - Field’s frequency and immediacy of citation - Database coverage - Journal’s scope and focus - Measured relative to database median raw impact per paper (RIP) + + + Citation potential in its subject field

32. SJR: SCImago Journal Rank All 20K journals have a SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are equal • Prestige transferred when a journal cites • Citations are weighted depending on where they come from • A journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations Arts & Humanities journal Life Sciences journal Low impact, few on citations One citation = high value High impact, lots of citations One citation = low value SJR normalizes for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields

33. Article Level Metrics

34. Reputable Publishers use Scopus data toprovide key assessment metrics More than 5,000 publishers are indexed in Scopus. Many use Scopus data and APIs to present journal, article and citation information to the researcher community.

35. Integration of article level metrics into Scopus Mendeley readership Statistics shows how many times Mendeley users have downloaded a specific article to their libraries. Altmetric is way to see all of the social or mainstream media mentions gathered for a particular paper as well as reader counts on popular reference managers

36. Summary International collaboration is rising and leads to increase of FWCI. Scopus Author Profiles are algorithmically created and we work with you and the research community to make improvements in order to find potential collaborators. ORCID is a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and is integrated in Scopus. Scopus and Scopus data is being used by researchers, publishers and leading institutions to inform decisions about research output and research assessment. Journal and article level metrics are available in Scopus and help researchers and research organizations to evaluate research and researchers.
