Scopus IDs are unique numbers assigned to authors who have publications indexed in Scopus. Scopus IDs are meant to disambiguate authors, as a search of an author's Scopus ID will retrieve any publications associated with that ID in Scopus.

Each Scopus ID is associated with an Author Profile, which, among other things, contains the author's Scopus ID, metrics, and a list of the author's publications indexed in Scopus.

No action is required to get a Scopus Author Profile. Once you have publications indexed in Scopus, an author profile and ID are automatically generated for you (no action required!).
