In 2024, Scopus Organization Profiles received a fresh look and feel. In addition to better performance and user-centric design, the profiles now offer more data on your organization’s societal impact. Organization Profiles are powerful tools within Scopus.com. Learn what they are and how they can help your organization.

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.

Organization Profiles are the complete records of an organization’s publications that are indexed in Scopus. They are built using algorithmic processing and Elsevier’s curated database of organizations, called OrgDB. Here’s a quick overview of the creation process:

• The OrgDB record for an organization includes its names, addresses, relationships with other organizations, and various ways it may be mentioned by authors in scholarly publications.

• OrgDB powers the algorithms that scan the affiliations of all the articles indexed in Scopus each day. This identifies 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 is a comprehensive view of your organization’s scholarly output, including author and document counts and related visualizations. From your profile page, you can sort and filter the data in numerous ways:

• 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

Once you’ve located and sorted the data in your Organization Profile, you can put it to work in several ways. Here are some ideas:

• Equip your teams with trusted data for internal assessments
• Analyze your organization’s impact to inform strategic decision about your organization’s research activities

• Track your organizational impact with data trusted by global ranking and assessment bodies
• Help track your organizational impact on society using the UN Sustainable Development Goal data
• Feed internal and external reporting against organizations, local and regional KPIs around research performance
• Perform light-touch analysis to inform strategic planning exercises

Scopus uses state-of-the-art algorithms coupled with comprehensive, manually curated knowledge bases to create Organization Profiles. As a result, Scopus can help you understand your own research impact with greater accuracy than any other database, providing invaluable data for strategic decision-making.
