Using Scopus to measure your impact

The database Scopus (available through the library website Database Finder) has a suite of tools that quantify your citations and overall impact in your research field.

Various research metrics can be obtained at the article, journal, author, or institutional level.

To use these tools, begin by searching for yourself in the Scopus Author Search to find your personal profile. 

Within your Profile you will see a Citation Overview in graph format, and a table showing each of your publications and the number of times each has been cited..
