Tips

Get relevant content fast with Scopus

We just acquired Scopus, an abstract and citation database from Elsevier. That’s all well & good, but what can this database do for you?

As a researcher:

  • Find out who is citing you, and how many citations an article or an author has received. Analyze citations for a particular journal issue, volume or year.
  • Use this information to complete grant or other applications quickly and easily.
  • Use the refine results overview to quickly see the main journals, disciplines and authors that publish in your area of interest.
  • Uncover important and relevant articles that you may otherwise miss.
  • Check out the work and citations of other authors.
  • Click on the cited by and reference links to track research trends and make connections – within or across disciplines.
