Short answer

How can I track researcher metrics with my AI?

Your agent uses Scopus to fetch specific author profiles, H-index values, and citation totals. You get the raw data needed to evaluate academic influence. This breakdown shows how the data moves from Scopus to your chat.

Research outcomes

What you get from the data

The Scopus connection turns your questions into specific academic insights.

IMPACT

Quantify influence

The AI pulls H-index and citation counts. You see exactly how much a researcher's work is being cited.

HISTORY

Track career paths

Retrieve affiliation history to see where researchers have worked. This maps out their professional movement.

SEARCH

Find specific authors

Your agent locates the right profiles by name. You skip the manual searching in the Scopus database.

HUMAN

Evaluate the results

The AI provides the metrics and history. You interpret what these numbers mean for your specific project.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent acts as the bridge between your chat and the Scopus database.

  1. Locate the author

    The agent finds the correct researcher profile within Scopus using their name or identifiers.

    search_author

  2. Fetch profile details

    Once identified, the agent pulls the researcher's full professional profile and affiliation history.

    get_author

  3. Retrieve citation data

    The agent pulls the specific H-index and citation counts for the researcher.

    get_citation_count

  4. Present findings

    The agent organizes the retrieved metrics into a clear summary for you to read.

    get_author

    Can I use this to find papers not indexed in Scopus?

    No. The AI is limited to the data available through the Scopus tools.

  • 03

    Does the AI calculate the H-index itself?

    No. The AI retrieves the H-index directly from Scopus.

  • 04

    Can the AI download full-text PDFs?

    No. The tools are for retrieving metadata and metrics, not full documents.
