Offer high-quality interdisciplinary information and robust tools your researchers need to advance their research and show their impact.
Feel confident that you are supporting your institution’s research mission with the highest quality peer-reviewed information matched with a robust set of tools to help your researchers advance their work and demonstrate their impact.
The largest source-neutral abstract and citation database available, Scopus features:
An unparalleled process of independent expert curation to ensure the information your researchers rely on is of the highest integrity
Embedded tools such as Author Profiles, author metrics and PlumX Metrics to help your researchers demonstrate impact
Research Discovery to help your department and research leaders identify potential collaborators and build stronger, more impactful teams
With its deep corpus of scholarly articles, books, conference proceedings and author information in more than 240 disciplines and growing, Scopus ensures your institution’s research enterprise is supported with both historic, groundbreaking science (dating back to 1788) and the most current new and novel approaches in emerging fields.
Scopus is proud of its transparent and independent process for selecting content for indexing. The independent Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB) is an international group of scientists, researchers and librarians who are respected experts in their fields. The 17 Subject Chairs review title submissions and currently indexed titles throughout the year to ensure all content meets globally recognized publishing standards and to prevent predatory titles from being indexed. The CSAB gets additional support from four Expert Content Selection and Advisory Committees (ECSAC) in selected regions to ensure global representation of titles on Scopus.
With integrity at the heart of our content selection process, you can trust that:
The titles indexed on Scopus are of the highest quality
Titles indexed on Scopus practice fair and rigorous peer review
Citations in your own work from titles indexed on Scopus will better inform your research through acknowledged precedence
Content discovered on Scopus will inspire confidence and productivity in your research
Impact is about potential: the potential for research to benefit people, society, the environment, economies and policies. Scopus offers a variety of tools to help researchers and institutions tell their stories about important research advances.
Author Profiles tell a more accurate and complete story about a researcher’s output and influence compared to other solutions
Author metrics provide quantitative evidence through a researcher’s document and citation counts, citation overview, h-index and h-graph, and funding sponsor information
PlumX Metrics, embedded on documents, reveal the online discussions about a researcher’s output
Additionally, relevant researchers contributing to a particular field can be quickly identified using the Researcher Discovery feature, making it easier for those leading research for their institution to find potential collaborators and build impactful research team
“When it comes to measuring success, you can’t compare other products to Scopus — no other output metrics offer the same kind of depth and coverage … faculty, department chairs, college deans, they are always amazed when they discover what’s possible.”
