It has been almost a year since ORCID – the open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers – was launched.  More than 253,000 ORCID profiles have been created as of today. Since its launch, the Scopus team has continued to add enhanced integration points while supporting the mission of ORCID.

The first effort was the Scopus2ORCID Feedback Wizard which allows researchers to associate their Scopus Author Identifier to their ORCID and import papers from Scopus to his/her ORCID profile. The application has helped more than 28,500 researchers create their ORCIDs, and between them, they’ve exported nearly 1.2 million article records. Next, we launched the “Add to ORCID” functionality visible on the Scopus Author Details pages.

And last week, the ORCID Information app/feature went live to all Scopus users.

Upgrades to Scopus this weekend:

1. The Search Results Page interface is now less cluttered and overall usability is improved. You will now see the following features in a single bar:

• Download PDF
• Export
• View citation overview
• View cited by

The additional features of <View references>, <Add to My List>, <Create bibliography>, <Email>, and <Print> are all still available but via a drop-down <More…> menu. The result of this re-design delivers a cleaner, less cluttered Search Results Page. See for yourself:

2. At Scopus, we are extremely excited to launch our first non-English language interface! If your browser is configured for Japanese, no matter where you are in the world, you can now see Scopus navigation pages and help files in Japanese. You also have the option to select Japanese from the Scopus page footer. Other languages will be added in the future, so stay tuned for more information.
3. With this upgrade, we urge you to enable your browser for JavaScript as having it
