Scopus BAU

, , , , ,

I am the UX lead for two Scopus Agile squads. One team, Find Experts, is responsible for the author and affiliation journeys on Scopus.com, and the other team, Curate, is responsible for the two Scopus wizards, the Author Feedback Wizard and the Institution Profile Wizard, that allow customers to edit Scopus data. For each of these squads I participate in the day to day meetings, and work with the product managers and development leads to prioritize the work.

A/B Testing
New Features and Enhancements

A/B Testing

I work with the product manager to design A/B tests. This can be for simple things like changing link text to more complicated design changes. One example of a test we ran involved taking the links on the author profile page and consolidating them into and “action box.” Below is the original version of the page.

This is the “action box” version of the page. There was a significant increase on the number of clicks on the links, and we moved this version to production.

New Features and enhancements

One example of a new feature that was added to the author profile pages was the Topics section. A sister product to Scopus, SciVal, a benchmarking product, introduced Topics of Prominence, a machine learning based categorization of subjects. This was a project that was prioritized by the business, and, as a team, we had to figure out the best implementation for Scopus.

I did concept work around how we could visually display the Topic information on the author profiles. There was a lot of back and forth with the SciVal product team, in the end, we created a much simpler version to launch to production.
This is the simplified version that went into production. I created a couple of different versions of this as well, and set up a UserZoom click test to gather more user input.
