  27. Author searching: The Problem • How to distinguish between an author’s articles and those of another authors sharing the same name? • How to group an author’s articles together when his or her name has been recorded in different ways? (e.g. Stambrook, P and Stambrook, P.J.)

  28. Solving the Problem We have approached solving these problems by using the data available in the publication records such as… • Author Names • Affiliation • Co-authors • Self citations • Source title • Subject area …and used this data to group articles that belong to a specific author. So how does Author Identifier work?

  44. Calculating the H-index

  45. Funding applications • Two specific areas where Scopus data can be used in completing a grant application • Bibliography and references cited • Biographical sketch – publications • These elements are typically required by a wide range of granting bodies including: • National Instituties of Health (US): http://www.nationalacademies.org/grantprograms.html • Office of Science (US Dept of Energy): http://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm, • The National Academies (US): http://www.science.doe.gov/grants/guide.html • Medical Research Council (UK): http://www.mrc.ac.uk/index/funding/funding-specific_schemes/funding-advice_for_applicants/funding-financial_support.htm

  46. Biographical sketch – a detailed example NASA asks for:“a bibliography of recent publications, especially those relevant to the proposed investigation.”

  47. Biographical sketch – a detailed example Research Centre for Gastroenterology and Liver Disease (Tehran), proposal questionnaire: “…What is known about the problem (both at national and international level).
