Scopus Author ID is a unique 11-digit identifier automatically assigned in ScienceDirect and Scopus
A profile is automatically created and a unique identifier assigned to you. There is a precise algorithm behind matching your publications to your profile which may result in more than one profile being created for you. You can request amendments to a profile if items have been incorrectly added and merge profiles if more than one profile is assigned to you.
The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is a non-profit organization dedicated to solving the name ambiguity problem in scholarly research by assigning a unique identifier to each author.
