3 Simple Steps to Generate your Scopus Citation Report

Click here to access Scopus.
Register or sign in to your Scopus account using your NTU e-mail address.
Note: Signing in is required to merge your author profiles and to save your search results to document lists.
Search for your publications in Scopus by going to 'Authors'.
If you already have an existing ORCID iD which is correctly associated with your publications, select 'ORCID' from the drop-down list and search using your ORCID iD.
If not, at the default 'author name' field, enter your last and first name, and click the 'Search' button.
At Author Results, select the author profile(s) (red box below). If more than one author profile is found, select those that belong to you.
Note: You may 'request to merge authors'. However, corrections to author profile can only be made by authors themselves, and updates to profile may require several days to more than a week.

Click 'Show documents' (green box below) to review the publication list associated with the selected author profile(s).

Preparing a Document Saved List

1. At 'Document Type' (red box) on the left sidebar, ensure that the documents are of the type articles, review articles, proceeding papers, book chapters, early access. Do not include erratum/correction(s), meeting abstracts, editorial materials, letters and author’s replies. (This is to ensure alignment with the guidelines provided by the NTU Promotion and Tenure Review Committee.)

For example, to remove 'Editorial' from your publication list, select 'Editorial' and click 'Exclude' (green box below) at the bottom of the side bar.
