  • Ensure that Scopus has matched all your publications to your Scopus Author Profile correctly. The information tied to the publications tied to your profile will affect your h-index.
     
  • May have more than one Scopus identifier due to the algorithm not recognizing your established profile with incoming publications.
     
  • You can request to merge multiple profiles and correct author details (e.g. assigning publication to your Scopus profile or adding non-indexed publication in a Scopus-indexed journal)
