Tefko Saracevic

Preparation

• Unlike Dialog where you received a user number and password and you were ready to login, in Scopus you have to register first, to get your User Name and choose your own Password and only then you can login

• You have received your ScopusRegistration number (looks like this): 12345678x123 (case sensitive, x is lower case!)

and

Password (looks like this): 1234567

• You will use these only once – for registration– during registration Scopus will assign you a User Name and you will choose

your own password; you will use these to login into Scopus
