Scopus as self import sourceScopus as self import source
Enabling Scopus
In order to get access to the Scopus self import source, automated search and citations you need to follow the steps below:
- Make sure that you have a Scopus subscription.
- Order an institutional token to grant you access to all Elsevier APIs you are entitled to, and which are supported in Pure.
- You order your institutional token by visiting the Scopus Support Center - https://service.elsevier.com/app/contact/supporthub/scopus/
- Please either mail, chat or call them with something like the following message
"Dear helpdesk...
Please generate an institutional token for:
- the customer: [customer name, customer SIS ID or Account ID]
- the service: Pure ..."
- Configure Scopus as online import source in Pure.
- Go to: Administrator > Research outputs > Import sources
- Insert token as per screenshot below.
Additonal selected settings
Description of link to Scopus website of publication
All research output which has a Scopus ID associated has an official link to Scopus. If the user clicking the link has a Scopus subscription, the full record in Scopus will be presented, while if the user clicking the link does not have a Scopus subscription a preview page showing the most important metadata will be shown. Whenever you import research output through Scopus this link is automatically added. The default behaviour is to only add this official link.
Description of the link to Scopus website of citations to publication
It is also possible to add a link to citations of the research output. This is done by modifying the configuration for the Scopus import. If you enter a description for the citation link, then whenever you import from Scopus, a citation link is also added to the research output.
Note: It is not recommended to add this, because it will result in a link regardless of whether the research output actually has any citations, which is not desirable in your portal. So if you enable this feature, you probably need some changes to your portal.
Extra parameters to search string for automated import of publication candidates
To enhance the results of the automated search for persons an organisational units parameters (query) can be added which can contain affiliation-ID, -City or -Country. An example of a query is: AF-ID(60015555) OR AF-ID(60022134)
The full list of search codes is found in the table below:
| Affiliation parameter | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| AF-ID | Affiliation ID A unique identification number assigned to organizations affiliated with Scopus authors. | af-id(Harvard Medical School 60022134) or af-id(60015555) returns documents written by authors affiliated with Harvard Medical School and variants of that name stored in Scopus. |
| AFFIL | Affiliation When searching the affil field, you can specify if you want all of your search terms to be found in the same affiliation. affil is a combined field that searches the following author address fields: affilcity, affilcountry, and affilorg. | To find documents where your search terms occur in the same affiliation, use: affil(london and hospital) To find documents where both terms appear in a document's affiliation, but not necessarily in the same affiliation, use: affil(london) and affil(hospital) |
AFFILCITY |
Affiliation city. The city portion of an author address. |
affilcity(beijing) returns documents where "beijing" is the city in the author affiliation fields, such as: Department of Physics, University of Aalborg, 9220 Aalborg Oest, Denmark |
AFFILCOUN TRY |
Affiliation country. The country portion of an author address. |
affilcountry(denmark) returns documents where "denmark" is the country in the author affiliation fields, such as: Department of Physics, University of Aalborg, 9220 Aalborg Oest,D enmark |
AFFILORG |
Affiliation organisation. The organisation portion of an author address. |
affilorg(aalborg ) returns documents where "aalborg" is the organisation in the author affiliation fields, such as: Department of Physics, University of Aalborg, 9220 Aalborg Oest, Denmark |
AFFIL |
Affiliation When searching the affil field, you can specify if you want all of your search terms to be found in the same affiliation. affil is a combined field that searches the following author address fields: affilcity, affilcountry, and affilorg. |
To find documents where your search terms occur in the same affiliation, use: affil(london and hospital) To find documents where both terms appear in a document's affiliation, but not necessarily in the same affiliation, use: affil(london) and affil(hospital) |
DPTID |
Department ID. Search for a specific department using an D |
dptid(109598060) will find "Department of Energy Technology" at Aalborg University. Note, the dptid may not be present at all records, so this may only be used as part of search query |
Enforce license terms for publications imported from Scopus
According to the license certain fields may be stored in Pure but not shown to the public e.g. on portals. By enabling this, e.g. the abstracts of publications that have been imported from these sources will only be displayed in the administration module and in read only mode. They will be hidden in the portal and web service. Note, that your existing research output will be updated when setting this to 'On'.
