Each database profile automatically includes a "Fingerprint," a set of weighted terms based on a text analysis of publications in PURE, as well as other information added into your profile.

You can remove Fingerprint terms that are no longer relevant, but you cannot add Fingerprints. Additional information entered a profile is indexed, weighted and added into the Fingerprint algorithm.

To remove Fingerprints:
In Edit Profile section, select Fingerprints in the menu on the left. By hovering over a Fingerprint with your mouse, or by using the Tab key to navigate to the chosen Fingerprint, you will see a red X appear on the tag allowing you to remove it. Select the Save button in the Edit Profile window when changes are complete.

While SCOPUS and other available data sources represent a wealth of scholarly work, we understand they will not include all completed research outputs.

If you believe your scholarly work should be indexed by SCOPUS, please follow instructions to have the specific journal or resource indexed. Elseiver will process the request and determine if the resource meets their requirements for indexing. While this is not possible for every suggestion, continuous suggestions and outreach are critical for the quality of the SCOPUS database as the project evolves.

Please complete the form below to request to add new titles to Scopus: https://suggestor.step.scopus.com/suggestTitle/step1.cfm
