Scopus Publication Import/ Update Cron Job: Update AffiliationsScopus Publication Import/ Update Cron Job: Update Affiliations

What

New Scopus publications were imported via the Scopus Publication Import Update cron job, but the affiliations on Persons are not correct (i.e. some of the persons affiliations are now former and you do not want these connected or new/ current affialtions are missing on the person(s)). You can configure the job to update those.

How

• Configure Import settings to add active organisations for internal persons
  • Go to Administrator > Research Output > Import Configuration and under 'Add active organisations for internal authors' toggle ON the setting for 'enable to ensure that active organisations are added to internal authors' and save the new configuration settings.
    
• Add the Scopus affiliation ID directly on managing organisation
  • This is the organisation you denote as the managing organisation on the cron job under job configurations
    
  • The Scopus Publication Import/Update needs the Scopus Affiliation ID added to the default managing organisation in order to identify whether to use the university organisations from Pure or the organisations from Scopus. You can find the Scopus affiliation ID on https://www.scopus.com and going to that specific organisation's profile page- i.e. https://www.scopus.com/affil/profile.uri?afid=60015555.
    
  • You should add this ID in the ID field directly on the organisation using label 'Scopus Affiliation ID'.
    
• Once the affiliation ID has been added, the Scopus Publication Import/Update job needs to run again in “Force mode” and it will then update the affiliations.
  

Note: It is always recommended to test this in staging/dev environments prior to implementing this in production to make sure you get the desired results.
