The information includes the author's unique identifier number, contact details, affiliation, publishing history, subject areas of interest, and research information.

The Scopus h-graph

The h-graph displays the h index for a single author, multiple authors, or a group of selected documents. The h index is a metric based on the highest number of papers included that have had at least the same number of citations. An h-index of 12 for an author means that out of the total number of documents selected to produce the graph, 12 of the documents have been cited at least 12 times.

Learn more about the h-index.

Note:The h index considers Scopus documents published after 1970, but the information from 1970-1996 may be incomplete for now.

The h Index is available in both a graph and a document list. The graph displays the information as an interactive graph. The document list displays the information in a table format.

Here is an example of the updated "analyze author output" h-index page.
