46-476: A profile and a facility to calculate authors' h -index . In 2016, a gratis website, Scopus CiteScore, was introduced. It provides citation data for all 25,000+ active titles such as journals, conference proceedings and books in Scopus and provides an alternative to the impact factor , a journal-level indicator which may correlate negatively with reliability. Scopus IDs for individual authors can be integrated with

69-438: A small number of publications are actually indexed for chemical structure searches. SciFinder is the preferred option for chemical searches is all cases. Scopus also offers author profiles which cover affiliations, number of publications and their bibliographic data, references , and details on the number of citations each published document has received.

An article published by "Scholarly Criticism" in 2024 alleges that Elsevier unethically indexed

115-409: Is all-inclusive." A small number of studies found ca. 80-90% overlap in coverage between WoS and Scopus for the period between 1990 and 2020. In terms of the structured query language search capabilities Scopus is somewhat more advanced than Web of Science : for example, WoS can perform only NEAR/n queries, Scopus can also do PRE/n queries. Also, when the same article was covered in Scopus and in

138-461: Is an example of how the article "Claude E. Shannon. A mathematical theory of communication. Bell System Technical Journal , 27:379–423, July 1948" would be expressed in the RIS file format: This is an example of how two citation records would be expressed in a single RIS file. Note the first record ends with ER - and the second record begins with TY - JOUR : The TY - tag must appear first and

161-685: Is updated 2 to 3 times per year. Each year Scopus receives around 3,500 submissions for new titles to be included and accepts approximately 25% of them. The re-evaluation policy is based on four criteria of Publication Concern, Under Performance, Outlier Performance and Continuous curation. Between 2004 and 2020, Scopus included 41,525 and excluded 688 titles Between 2016 and 2023, the CSAB has re-evaluated 990 titles published by 539 different publishers, leading to 536 titles discontinued for indexing. In 2024 Scopus covered around 28,000 active journals and nearly 300,000 books. Nevertheless, research continues to show

207-469: The ACM Portal , Scopemed , ScienceDirect , SpringerLink , Rayyan , The Lens , Accordance Bible Software, and online library catalogs can export citations in this format. Citation management applications can export and import citations in this format. The RIS file format —two letters, two spaces and a hyphen—is a tagged format for expressing bibliographic citations . According to the specifications,

230-577: The Web of Science (WOS), a 2006 study concluded that Scopus is "easy to navigate, even for the novice user. ... The ability to search both forward and backward from a particular citation would be very helpful to the researcher. The multidisciplinary aspect allows the researcher to easily search outside of his discipline" and "One advantage of WOS over Scopus is the depth of coverage, with the full WOS database going back to 1945 and Scopus going back to 1966. However, Scopus and WOS complement each other as neither resource

253-411: The Web of Science (WoS), its Scopus entry had a keyword ratio 3-5 of than its WoS counterpart, and the Scopus keywords are more focused on the specific article content, whereas WoS has more keywords related to the broad category of the article's subject. A larger number of narrow-targeted keywords allows Scopus users to find a larger number of relevant publications, while filtering out false positives. On

276-491: The end. Many strings have limits on what characters they can contain (e.g. any ASCII character, just alphanumerics, or just digits) or their length (often limited to 255 characters). These are only sometimes noted in the table below; see the linked sources to double-check, particularly and the pages in RIS Format Specifications. There are two major versions of the RIS specification, one from 2001, and one from

Further suggestions might be found on the article's talk page . Scopus Scopus is a scientific abstract and citation database , launched by the academic publisher Elsevier as a competitor to older Web of Science in 2004. An ensuing competition between

322-415: The inclusion of predatory journals . While marketed as a global point of reference, Scopus and WoS have been characterised as "structurally biased against research produced in non-Western countries, non-English language research, and research from the arts, humanities, and social sciences". or Science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators CiteScore (CS) of an academic journal

345-705: The journal Heliyon , which is published by Elsevier's subsiduary, in Scopus within a few months of its launch. This indexing occurred with one citation and four published issues in 2015, which the article suggests does not align with the rules prescribed for other journals. The article further alleges that Elsevier was motivated to engage in this practice, which the article calls a "conflict of interest," in order to attract authors to publish in Heliyon, which charges an article processing charge of USD 2,100 per publication. In 2024 French National Centre for Scientific Research CNRS ended its subscription to Scopus, while maintaining for

368-407: The journals listed in Scopus are considered to meet the requirement for peer review quality established by several research grant agencies for their grant recipients and by degree -accreditation boards in a number of countries. Scopus also allows patent searches from a dedicated patent database, Lexis-Nexis , albeit with limited functionality. Comparing ease of use and coverage of Scopus and

391-482: The lines must end with the ASCII carriage return and line feed characters. Note that this is the convention on Microsoft Windows , while in other contemporary operating systems, particularly Unix , the end of line is typically marked by line feed only. Multiple citation records can be present in a single RIS file. A record ends with an "end record" tag ER - with no additional blank lines between records. This

414-468: The non-proprietary digital identifier ORCID . In 2018, Scopus started embedding partial information about the open access status of works, using Unpaywall data. However, Scopus' ris export files do not contain the information about Open Access status. Since Elsevier is the owner of Scopus and is also one of the main international publishers of scientific journals, an independent and international Scopus Content Selection and advisory board (CSAB)

437-454: The other hand, WoS exports (e.g. in the ris format) the doi numbers of cited articles, while Scopus exports the titles of cited articles. Also, Scopus allows exporting 20,000 references (e.g. as a ris file) at once, while WoS export is limited to 5,000 references at once. Scopus provides chemical search by CAS number and by chemical name, while WoS does not have these features. On the other hand, WoS has chemical structure search, but only

460-482: The that year its subscription to Web of Science . This decision was allegedly motivated by a greater use of Web of Science by CNRS's employees. RIS (file format) RIS is a standardized tag format developed by Research Information Systems, Incorporated (the format name refers to the company) to enable citation programs to exchange data. It is supported by a number of reference managers . Many digital libraries , like Web of Science , IEEE Xplore , Scopus ,

483-520: The two databases has been characterized as "intense" and is considered to significantly benefit their users in terms of continuous improvent in coverage, search/analysis capabilities, but not in price. Free database The Lens completes the triad of main universal academic research databases. Journals in Scopus are reviewed for sufficient quality each year according to four numerical measures: h -Index , CiteScore , SJR ( SCImago Journal Rank ) and SNIP ( source normalized impact per paper ). For this reason,

The authors replaced Hitler's references to " National Socialism " with "feminism" and "Jews" with "privilege". The submission of the paper was an attempt to show the lack of rigor in some fields of academia, so-called "grievance studies", by demonstrating that absurdities and morally fashionable political ideas could get published as legitimate academic research in
