Tips for Researchers

Exporting Scopus Author Profile to SciVal

To view and evaluate the author metrics in SciVal, researchers are recommended to export their author profiles from Scopus to SciVal.

  1. Go to Scopus

  2. Click "Authors" and then search for your author profile

  3. On the author profile page, click on "Export to SciVal" to export the profile to SciVal

  1. The profile will be added into your entity selection panel under "Researchers and Groups".

  2. You can also click on the "Is this you?" button under the researcher's name to connect your researcher profile to your SciVal account

Creating Research Areas of Your Interest

Researchers are also recommended to define their own Research Areas, which enable them to:

  • identify existing and potential collaboration partners that are active in the field

  • discover the most important topics within their research areas

  • demonstrate impact and highlight accomplishments within a research area

You can create a new Research Area from the entity selection panel or from My SciVal.

Using the entity selection panel...

  1. Go to the "Research Areas" tab

  2. Click on the "Add new"  button at the bottom left corner

  3. Click "Define a new Research Area"

Using My SciVal...

  1. Go to the "Research Areas" tab

  2. Click on the "Define a new Research Area"  button at the top right corner

  1. Choose "Use search terms", and enter the key terms in the search bar:

    • All of these words: Each keyword must be in the results

    • Any of these words: At least one of search terms must be included in the results

    • None of these words: Exclude results that contain the search terms

  2. You can use the filters to further refine your Research Area if needed

  3. Click "Next step"

  4. Save the defined Research Area with a meaningful name and then click "Save and finish" to save the Research Area

Tips for Researchers

  • You should use specific keywords which are closely related to your Research Area and avoid using general phrases in your query

  • You can use wildcards, parentheses and double quotes to construct a more complex query
