Scopus content coverage

What content does Scopus include?

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.

53.3M records from 21,912 serial titles and 36,000 books21.3M pre 1996 records | 32.0M post 1995 records

• Content from > 5,000 publishers• “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

| 6

Scopus covers different source types for a reason

JOURNALS

• Timely• Peer-reviewed

(formal research)

CONFERENCES

• Preliminary research (can be a bit less formal)

• Newer ideas

BOOKS

• Thorough analysis of a specific topic

All subject fields, but typical fields with high

ratio of journal publication: chemical,

biological, health sciences etc.

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.

How does Scopus select journals?

| 15

How does Scopus select serial content?

• Titles are selected by the independent Content Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB)

• The CSAB is chosen for their expertise in specific subject areas; many will have previously been (journal) Editors

Focus on quality through content selection by the independent CSAB, because:

• Provide accurate and relevant search results for users• No dilution of search results by irrelevant or low quality content• Support that Scopus is recognized as authoritative• Support confidence that Scopus “reflects the truth”

How does Scopus select non-serial content?

| 19

Selection of non-serial Book and Conference contentBooksBook selection is via a publisher-based approach (no individual suggestions accepted). All books from selected publishers deemed “in scope” will be selected for coverage. Priority and selection of publisher’s book lists depends on:• Reputation and impact of the publisher• Size and subject area of the books list• Availability and format of the book content• Publication policy and editorial mission• Quality of published book content

ConferencesEngineering related conferences 2005 going forward included on various vetted lists (no individual suggestions accepted). • Australian Research Council: ARC-A, ARC-B • “MIT” Conferences• DBLP Computer Science Bibliography (orig. db logic program bibliography)• Microsoft Academic Science – Computer Science, Engineering• INSPIRES – high-energy physics (Stanford)• Web of Science – selected engineering-focused/related• OnePetro – Oil & Gas industries (society conferences from API, SPE, NACE, SEG, etc.)• OneMine – mining and minerals (society conferences from SME, TMS, AIME, AusIMM, ...)

Scopus cited references expansion program

Scopus will add cited references to 8 Million pre-1996 articles going back to 1970.

| 24

Why?- Improve the completeness and coverage of back files in Scopus- Enhance the relevancy and visibility of archival content in Scopus- Measure the impact of pre-1996 – for both individual assessment and (historical) trend analysis.- Increase the accuracy of Scopus Author Profiles for older researchers and decision makers.

Pre-1996 cited references expansion program

Coverage years

• Pre-1996, going back to 1970

Number of articles

• We estimate 8M+ articles will be (re-) processed to include cited references

Which Archives

• Archives from all major publishers that have digital archives available

• All subject areas included

What?

Development of required systems

and processes has already started

The first content with pre-1996

cited references will be visible in

Q4 2014

Completed by 2016 when >8M articles

from all major publishers have been

loaded
