Goal:
How to get your journal indexed
in Scopus
2
|
What does inclusion in Scopus mean for a journal?
A journal that is suggested to Scopus and gets accepted for inclusion
by the CSAB Subject Chairs and indexed into its database will get:
• international visibility
• increased citations for individual researchers as well as the journal
• increases the opportunity for collaboration with other researchers
from around the world
The journal will also be contributing to the wider scholarly community
in the specialist subject field.

What content does Scopus include?
55.0M records from 21,671 serial titles and 50,114 books
21.3M pre 1996 records | 33.7M post 1995 records
•
•

“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)
All subject fields, but
typical fields with high
ratio of journal
publication: chemical,
biological, health sciences
etc.
CONFERENCES
BOOKS
• Preliminary research
(can be a bit less
formal)
• Newer ideas
• Thorough analysis of
a specific topic
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.
