With Project 5-100 Russia has ambitious goals to improve its competitive position Five of the best Russian universities to enter the top 100 of the leading global university rankings by 2020

Times Higher Rankings switched to Scopus In November 2014, Times Higher Education and Elsevier announced they are partnering to provide the data behind the THE’s flagship World University Rankings and its global university performance analyses.

Scopus is the Gold standard: more than 150 leading research organizations rely on Scopus data UK REF Kiel University Russian Foundation of Basic Research UK BIS Queen’s University Belfast Ural Federal University Michigan Corporate Relations Network STINT MD Anderson Danish BFI Estonia Research Council NCN Poland Germany IFQ European Commission & ERC Keio University FCT Portugal NSF ISTIC Peking University Italy ANVUR Gazi University ReachNC TCI - Thailand IISER NRF -Korea Nanyang Technological University Nigerian Government CAPES Brazil ERA 2014 Rankings:

Today we will focus on Scopus but it is important to remember that Scopus underpins other solutions RESEARCH OUTCOMES APIs Custom Data Mendeley METRICS SCOPUS DATABASE

How Scopus and Scopus data support the researcher workflow Find out what already exists in the global world of research output Determine how to differentiate your research topic and find new ideas Decide what, where and with whom to partner or collaborate with Identify and analyze which journals to submit your article; get published Track impact of your research; monitor global research trends Manage your career through citation counts and h-index (and other metrics)

What content does Scopus include? 57.3M records from 22,025 serial titles and 85,540 books 21.4M pre 1996 records | 35.7M post 1995 records Content from > 5,000 publishers “Articles in Press” from > 3,750 titles Titles from 105 different countries in all geographical regions 40 “local” languages covered More than 2,800 Gold Open Access journals indexed Scopus is ideal compared to other products because it has the broadest coverage of global, curated, relevant research, with smart, simple tools to help track, analyze and visualize research.

Scopus covers different source types for a reason JOURNALS Timely Peer-reviewed (formal research) CONFERENCES Preliminary research (can be a bit less formal) Newer ideas BOOKS Thorough analysis of a specific topic All subject fields, but typical fields with high ratio of journal publication: chemical, biological, health sciences etc. Mainly of importance in Computer Science and Engineering-related subject fields Mainly of importance in Social Sciences and the Arts & Humanities Different source types are added to ensure that coverage, discoverability, profiles and impact measurement for research in all subject fields is accounted for in Scopus.

High quality journals due to selection by the independent Content Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB) The CSAB is chosen for their expertise in specific subject areas; many have (journal) Editor experience Focus on quality through content selection by the independent CSAB, because: Provide accurate and relevant search results for users No dilution of search results by irrelevant or low quality content Support that Scopus is recognized as authoritative Support confidence that Scopus “reflects the truth” UNAM ERA (Australia)

Successful journal selection is a combination of different aspects Quality Scientific quality of the science published, but also publishing format and (ethical) standards Successful journal selection Is the (international) diversity of authorship and editorial board in line with aims & scope Is the content type and subject relevant to the (international) user base of Scopus Diversity Relevancy

Transparent Scopus selection criteria for serial content 1. All titles should meet all minimum criteria in order to be considered for Scopus review: English abstracts Regular publication Roman script references Pub. ethics statement Peer-review 2. Eligible titles are reviewed by the Content Selection & Advisory Board according to a combination of 14 quantitative & qualitative selection criteria grouped in 5 categories: Journal Policy Quality of Content Journal Standing Regularity Online Availability 3. As a primary publisher and information aggregator, Elsevier understands the needs of Authors, Editors and Publishers and provides resources to support the community: Research Trends, Editor Update newsletters Review comments from CSAB Publication ethics resources Publishing services FAQs Continuous review process using the online Scopus Title Evaluation Platform (STEP) Info: http://www.elsevier.com/online-tools/scopus/content-overview Questions: titlesuggestion@scopus.com

All Scopus journals have journal metrics measuring citation performance Elsevier Journal Metrics strategy: Provide the most complete picture possible of how a journal is performing, and of how it is perceived. It is impossible for a single metric to do everything, so we offer a “basket of metrics” www.journalmetrics.com/

Introducing the basket of metrics This is intended to be illustrative, rather than exhaustive Community Contributions Consumption Esteem Impact - Editor - Board - Authors Outputs Usage Citations Audience - Scholarly Activity - Academic opinion - Social Activity - Media Activity Geographical spread Scholarly Output SNIP, IPP, SJR, IF Scholarly altmetrics Social altmetrics Collaboration network Research data output Citation metrics Peer review metrics Media coverage Sector distribution Conference output Usage metrics Prizes and awards Medical guidelines h-index Audience distribution Influence policies Audience sector Opinion data

Scopus Author Profiles: most comprehensive and accurate profiles with the least effort Our strategy with regard to author disambiguation is to algorithmically produce the best qualitative profiles possible for every single author captured in Scopus. And, at the same time provide easy to use tools to the researchers community to feedback their manual input to increase the accuracy of their respective profiles.
