Disambiguation…. Valid data = Valid metrics
Accurate attribution of research products is the most important first step in a citation analyses.
• Scholarly authors are assigned many identifiers such as Scopus Author ID, Web of Science Researcher ID, institutional ID’s
• Scholars should register for an ORCID - Open Researcher Identifier – this ID is supported by many publishers & platforms.
• Scholars can claim and make public their Google Scholar profile

Enter author’s name in in correct format. In most
cases, do not select ‘exact matches’.

Scopus groups authors to aid in disambiguation. In
this example, Dr. Parks has one author profile (as
it should be).

More than one author profile
• Occasionally an author will have more than one profile
• What to do??– Authors should use an ORCID to uniquely identify
their works.– Authors (or librarians) can request to merge
author profiles in Scopus – be very careful about correct attribution of works!

Scopus groups authors to aid in
disambiguation. In this example, all grouped authors are the same
person.
Multiple Author ProfilesIn this case, an author has more than one Scopus profile…

To correct profile errors…Dr. Mao should use
the ‘Request to merge authors ’ link
to merge her profiles. At this
point, she has three Author ID’s in
Scopus.
