7. 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)

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. What content does Scopus include?
JOURNALS
21,150 peer-reviewed journals
359 trade journals
Full metadata, abstracts and cited references (references for post-1995 only)

17. 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)

18. 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

19. 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)

20. Keeping track of suggested titles

21. 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”

22. Introducing the basket of metrics

23. 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.
