What are Scopus organization profiles and how are they created?
Scopus Organization Profiles are complete records of organizations publications indexed in Scopus.
- They are built using algorithmic processing and Elsevier's curated database of organizations (OrgDB)
- The OrgDB record for an organization includes names, addresses, relationships with other organizations and various ways they are mentioned by authors in scholarly publications
- The algorithms work in conjunction with OrgDB to identify the documents that can be attributed to your organization.
Once the algorithm is confident it has a document published by your organization, it assigns it to your organization profile.
Your Scopus Organization Profile has a comprehensive view of your organization's scholarly output, including author and document counts and related visualizations. You can sort and filter the data in various ways via your organization's profile page.
For example, you can:
- View document output by subject area
- View organization structure
- View collaborating organizations
- View documents by source
- View documents from your organization that contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals
