Scopus Author ID is automatically generated if you have a paper in the database so registration for a Scopus Author ID is not required.

Having a Scopus Author ID allows you to easily see a list of your publications and view citation metrics such as h-index measures, citation counts, publications and co-authors.

Scopus Author ID can be linked to ORCID so publications can be imported into your ORCID.

1. Go to Scopus.
2. Conduct an Author Search on your name and your affiliation e.g. RMIT University. Did you find a record for yourself?
3. If you did, make a note of your Author ID so that you can add this to your ORCID profile. You can also get citation alerts and request corrections of your details in Scopus using this ID number. 

Here are instructions on how to:
