Some of the benefits of creating a Scopus account (My Scopus):

• You’ve performed your searches, why not save them for future reference? You can save up to 50 searches.
• You’ve found interesting material for your assignment or dissertation, but need to keep up-to-date? Set up an alert – get it by email.
• You’ve done the hard part, you’ve got your material, now let’s move on to referencing! Using RefWorks? Select it as your preferred export system.

If you think you’ll use the Scopus database regularly, you will definitely benefit from the extra features that an account offers. Get organised and create an account…

How to create your personal account?

Whether you are on or off campus, just follow the instructions in Step 2 of the “Accessing electronic information” library guide: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/library/documents/guides/dbs/qgdbs005.pdf

Then Activate personalization (top right hand corner) and complete the form.  Next time you use Scopus, log in using the Step 2 instructions and Scopus will recognise you (your name will appear in the top right hand corner).
