4. In Link Location Settings, review the settings for the following fields:

   Sort Priority	The order of appearance for the display of the external link in Scopus. Notes External links can have the same sort priority for a specific page. If this occurs, sort order is addressed first, and then the links are sorted in alphabetical order. Sort priority is also dependent on other links which display in the same location. If you arrange for a link to have the same sort priority as another link for the same Scopus location, priority is then determined by alphabetical order. In this case, it is possible your external link will not display because certain locations can only display a limited number of links. For example   If you have arranged for five external links for a page that can only display two of those links, then only two links will display and will be based on sort priority.
   Record Page Next to Abstract	Determines whether or not the external link will display beside the Abstract of a Scopus Record.
