How do I create and manage my Alerts?

1. From an author details page, click ‘Get citation alerts’. The Set Author Citation Alert pop-up opens.
2. In ‘Name of alert’, enter a name for the alert.
   This field displays the author name and Author identifier. If your Author Citation alert is for a group of matched authors, the field displays the preferred author's name and the text "Multiple Author ID's"
3. In ‘E-mail address’, enter the email address where you want the alert to be sent.
   This field displays the email address you entered when you registered for Scopus. You can edit this field to send the alert to a different email address. This does not change your profile.
   You can also enter email addresses of colleagues. Separate multiple email addresses with a semicolon, comma, or space, or press ‘Enter’ on your keyboard. If a colleague unsubscribes from the alert, you will receive an email informing you of the action.
4. From ‘Frequency’, select how often you want to receive alert email notices. For weekly alerts you can choose which day of the week you receive the alert, and for monthly alerts you can choose which day you receive the alert.

1. Select either ‘HTML’ or ‘Text’ format for your email alerts.
2. Select ‘Active’ or ‘Inactive’ as the status of your alert.
   You can change this setting on the Alerts page without losing your frequency preferences. Setting an alert to ‘Inactive’ status does not delete the alert.
3. Click ‘Save’ to save the Author Citation alert.

An Author Citation alert will keep you informed when a document cites a specified author. You can schedule this alert to run at certain intervals. If any new results are found, you will receive an email with the first 25 results and a link into Scopus to access all new results.

The Alerts page has the following features available for managing your Author Citation Alerts:
