Scopus

There are 3 main ways that you might search in Scopus:

1. Search for Documents by Topic

2. Search by Author

3. Search for Cited References 

To find references on a topic, use the document search. 

The results will be sorted by Date. Use the drop-down menu to sort by other options. 

Click on the Authors tab to search for documents by author name. 

An Author search will look for all the variations of an author name. 

You also have the option to search for an author based on an ORCID identifier. 

If you get more than one result, there are several features that will help you identify the correct author:

• To see the title of the author's most recent article, click View last title. 
• Look for the subject areas associated with each author
• Look for the most recent affiliations of each author. 

Click on an author's name to view their Author Details page, which includes variations of their name, a list of their most recent documents, links to documents which have cited the author's work, and tools to measure and visualize the author's performance. You can also set up alerts to be notified when the author publishes something new or when someone cites the author. 

You can search for the references for Scopus documents as well as the citing documents.
