Scopus Database

Description

Scopus is a multidisciplinary abstract and citation database that covers a wide range of scientific, technical, medical, and social sciences literature. It is curated by independent subject matter experts and provides a source-neutral platform for researchers to access high-quality data. Scopus offers advanced search tools that enable users to discover relevant sources, identify emerging research trends, and find potential collaborators. The database includes over 100 million records, 30.2 thousand active serial titles, 404 thousand books, and 2.6 million preprints, ensuring comprehensive coverage of academic journals, books, and conference proceedings.

Scopus is designed to enhance research efficiency by providing intuitive search capabilities and sophisticated analytical tools. Researchers can measure research performance, shape their research strategy, and evaluate research output at both individual and institutional levels. Scopus Author Profiles help authors improve their discoverability and build credentials by showcasing their research output and impact.

The database includes extensive metrics such as CiteScore, SNIP, SJR, PlumX, and h-index, which provide reliable ways to illustrate the influence of journals, articles, authors, and institutions. Scopus APIs are available for academic institutions to generate custom reports and integrate citation data into other applications.

Scopus is trusted by researchers, scholars, and librarians worldwide due to its rigorous content selection process, which is overseen by an independent Content Selection and Advisory Board. The board ensures that only the most trusted, peer-reviewed scientific articles, books, and conference papers are included in the database. Scopus is updated daily, providing users with the latest research insights and data.
