Scopus

Scopus is a bibliographic database containing abstracts and citations for academic journal articles. It covers nearly 22,000 titles from over 5,000 publishers, of which 20,000 are peer-reviewed journals in the scientific, technical, medical, and social sciences (including arts and humanities). It is owned by Elsevier and is available online by subscription. Searches in Scopus also incorporate searches of patent databases.

Overview

Scopus gives four types of quality measure for each title; those are h-Index, CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank), and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper). Anyone can find the h-index of an author, but the other three values are available only to paid subscribers. All data are derived from the Scopus database.

Content

Scopus covers three types of literature: book series, conference materials, and journals. The bulk of the content is from the latter category. As of November 2020, the database contains more than 1.6 million articles from 500 open access journals. Scopus also covers 386 million quality web sources, including 21 million patents. Web sources are searched via Scirus, and include author homepages, university sites, and resources such as the preprint servers CogPrints and ArXiv.org, and OAI compliant resources.
