Description

Scopus is an index of leading scholarly journals, books series, conference proceedings, trade publications, and patents. It covers the life sciences, physical sciences, health sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. In total, it indexes over 75 million items, including articles from over 24,000 journals by over 5,000 international publishers. Journals indexed in Scopus are selected by committees of subject matter experts, who evaluate each journal’s policies, content, standing, regularity of publication, and online availability.

Scopus includes a wide variety of search options. Indexing for each work includes its authors, author affiliations, abstract, and cited references. Once you find a document of interest, you can use Scopus to find related documents by shared references, authors, topics, or keywords.

Scopus also includes various tools for analyzing journals, authors, and institutions. The Journal Analyzer allows you to compare journals using multiple metrics, including CiteScore, SNIP and SJR. You can use this tool to help find the best journal in which to publish your research.
