own Registration number and Password

Tefko Saracevic

Preparation
Unlike Dialog where you received a user number and
password and you were ready to login, in Scopus you
have to register first, to get your User Name and choose
your own Password and only then you can login
You have received your Scopus
Registration number (looks like this): 12345678x123

(case

sensitive, x is lower case!)

and

Password (looks like this): 1234567

You will use these only once for registration

during registration Scopus will assign you a User Name
and you will choose your own password; you will use
these to login into Scopus

given name and your family name as it appears in your profile. Both
the user name and the password are case sensitive.
