Scopus Imports

Step 1: Search Scopus

Select the Intellectual Contributions screen. Here you will find the Import button. Select this button.

From the Import from Third Party section choose Scopus

Next enter your search criteria. If you leave this section blank and click Continue, Faculty Success will search Scopus for publications that match your name, or the name of the user for whom you are importing citations if you are managing data for someone else.

NOTE: The preferred method of searching Scopus is by Scopus Author ID

You can enter additional search criteria by choosing Add search criteria and entering your search parameters.

We allow you to search Scopus using the following search criteria:

• Author Name (Please note: you can only search Scopus with one Author Name, you'll notice it is disabled in the dropdown list if you try to add additional search parameters.)
• ORCID ID
• Scopus Author ID (For more information, see FAQ above.)
• DOI
• ISBN
• ISSN/e-ISSN/p-ISSN
• Pubmed Identifier
• Publication Title
• Publication Year
• Title

If you change your mind, you can use the garbage can icon to remove a search criterion.

Once you have selected your search criteria, click Search Scopus.

Step 2: Select Items to Import

Faculty Success will return the citations found in Scopus that match the search criteria you entered. To select the publications to import, choose the check box at the top to Select All, or check the box next to individual items.

If you are uncertain about a citation, click the article title, which will show you the full set of details that will be imported into Faculty Success for that publication should you choose to proceed.

Once you have chosen the publications to import select Continue.

If too many publications were returned or the publication you expected to find does not appear, you can hone your search right from this screen. Select the modify your search link, update your criteria and select Search Scopus.

Step 3: Handle Duplicates

Faculty Success uses advanced duplicate detection logic to check the publications to see if any might already be in the system. We do not want duplicates! The publications that might be duplicates are presented to you for review.

As you can see here, one potential duplicate was found. For each potential duplicate publication, you must choose Skip or Import. You can limit the publications that are displayed to all publications or only those that still need review using the drop-down menu at the top.

Once you have indicated whether each publication is or is not a duplicate, the Continue button becomes available to select in the upper right corner of your screen. Select Continue.

Step 4: Pick Collaborators

You can link the names of collaborators to user accounts in Faculty Success. Here, a list of the names of people that are in all of the records from the file is displayed. There are three possibilities for a name:

• Possibility A: It matched multiple names in Faculty Success, in which case you will see the message X potential matches. Select correct user account.
  
  
  

  Upon selecting the link Select correct user account, you will see this:

  
  
  

  Selecting the link If the person is not listed above, view all user accounts will load all of the user accounts in Faculty Success to enable you to select the user from your campus.

  If there are no matches with any user accounts, selecting the No Matching Account button will update the selection on the Pick Collaborators main screen to Match to a user account, meaning a link to a user account will not be made.

  
  
  
• Possibility B: The collaborator matched just one name in Faculty Success, in which case you will see the name of the user account that was matched with the text after it of Select a different user account.
  
  
  

  Upon selecting the link Select a different user account, you will see this:

  
  
  

  If there are no matches with any user accounts, selecting the No Matching Account button will update the selection on the Pick Collaborators main screen to Match to a user account, meaning a link to a user account will not be made.

• Possibility C: The collaborator did not match any names in Faculty Success, in which case you will see the message Match to a user account. 
  
  
  

  Upon selecting the link Match to a user account, you will see this:

  
  
  

  Selecting the button No Matching Account will maintain the selection on the Pick Collaborators main screen of Match to a user account, meaning a link to a user account will not be made.

If there are multiple collaborators, you can select the Match to a user account link to make the proper assignment for each person's name.

Note: In order to proceed, you must resolve all of the names that are from Possibility A above, where a name matched multiple users.
