They are fantastic… it is the kind of information that administrators and the Office of Research seek all the time.”Hector R. Perez-GilbeHealth Sciences Research Librarian, UC Irvine, U.S.“We explain to [students/researchers] that they have an opportunity to make their profile shine…One way they can do that is by aiming for reputable titles indexed by databases like Scopus …Students and researchers walk away understanding that Scopus is a tool to help them discover and present work colleagues can access.”Bruce AbbottAssoc. Dean, McGoogan Health Sciences Library, UNMC, U.S.“Many of today’s research questions have to do with public health, particularly with public policy and informatics. This creates an overlap between computer science, informatics and health sciences... having a database as inclusive and interdisciplinary as Scopus is invaluable to us.”Emily GleenHealth Sciences Librarian at Blaisdell Medical Library, UC Davis Health, U.S.### Scopus content is curated by the independent Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB)More about the CSAB and Scopus content qualityLearn more about (opens in a new window)Scopus content coverage guideLearn more about (opens in a new window)Scopus source title listLearn more about (opens in a new window)Scopus book title listLearn more about (opens in a new window)### What is new in Scopus?#### Introducing CiteScore 2024: A Comprehensive and Transparent Metric for Journal ImpactRead moreLearn more about (opens in a new window)The same call, in code.
