Online certification
Certification Scopus
In French
The six-week online certification program includes six modules: thematic research, author profiles, indicators, Scopus APIs, institutional profiles and user outreach.
The program is free, but your institution must have a Scopus subscription.
You will need approximately six hours to complete this route in total. One hour per week, and one module each week. As the program is online, you can participate on the day or time that suits you.
As a Scopus certified librarian or documentalist, you will have the opportunity:
to develop in-depth knowledge of solutions to conduct research, identify collaborations, and have key indicators
to establish and develop internal training programs to support your users
to develop in-depth know-how and skills in monitoring and evaluating research
to share your experience in order to develop best practices and guide relay people in their developments
Scopus
More than 150 users of Scopus across France have already obtained Scopus certification, an online program of 6 modules spread over 6 weeks. Here is an article that presents the training offered.
This year, several cohorts are planned again in French, with the program reflecting recent changes in functionality and user interface:
Cohort 2024.1: March 11th to April 22nd, 2024
Cohort 2024.2: October 14th to November 25th, 2024

At the end of the program, you will be able to:
Explain how to get started with SciVal
Discuss indicators and the information that can be derived from them
Work with researchers and groups of researchers
Build reports and explain how to deploy SciVal in your institution
SciVal
Nearly 50 French users are now SciVal certified. New cohorts are of course being organised this year. The format is also organised over 6 weeks and allows participants to acquire a solid knowledge base of SciVal functionalities, while offering them the opportunity to network with SciVal users from other institutions.

Research Data Management Librarians Academy (RDMLA)
Offered in English
The RDMLA, a free online professional development program for librarians, information professionals and others, is now available and offers individuals the opportunity to develop skills in research data management.
RDMLA is aimed primarily at librarians, but is also relevant to researchers. The program consists of eight modules, which you can attend one after the other, or independently, as you wish. Each module lasts an average of one hour and consists of videos, slides, demonstrations, reading resources and self-assessments.
The RDMLA and general information about it can be found here.
Training sessions
Available in French
In consultation with its consultant, each institution can determine its own training program, for progressive learning according to its needs and priorities, throughout the subscription to the solution.
These sessions can be adjusted to suit the target audience, e.g. lecturers, librarians and documentalists, members of the research department, etc.
The sessions focus on themes that are important to you. For example, they may cover searches in Scopus, research visibility, relevant indicators for monitoring the impact of publications, monitoring trends, the visibility of your institution and its laboratories, etc. These training courses are subject to change as the functionality of the solutions develops.
If you are interested in organising such sessions, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
News and articles
Elsevier took part in Think Education 2024: Performance in higher education and research: a paradigm shift?
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are revolutionizing the scientific landscape, reshaping information systems and knowledge creation tools. Researchers have been quick to adapt, embracing generative AI (GenAI), which promises to rapidly translate scientific discoveries into practical solutions. In the short term, GenAI models ingest large quantities of data to produce scientific papers, grant proposals and codes, demonstrating their transformative potential. However, the OECD notes that the potential of AI in science is not being fully exploited, and calls on policymakers to deepen its integration. Growing awareness of the risks associated with GenAI, including inaccuracies, misinterpretations and concerns about relevance to all research activities, also prompts the development of guidelines and policies to set limits to it, and ensure an approach geared towards beneficial outcomes.

Research mobilises to meet the challenge of a zero-carbon future
Article in Campus Matin
Research into clean energy is growing fast, rising from 1% of all publications in 2001 to 5% in 2020. But this progress must not mask the challenges that lie ahead. Elsevier's new report, "Pathways to Net Zero", aims to provide a better understanding of clean energy research and innovation and how they are contributing to achieving a "net zero" future.
