What is Scopus ?
Over 22,000 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers and 105
different countries
Over 65 million records, 24 million patents from 5 patent offices worldwide
All content is vigorously vetted by an independent, 15-person, international
board of experts called the Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB)
More than 3,000 customers worldwide in all geographic regions
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed
research literature from around the world. It is the core data source of
Elsevier Research Intelligence solutions, and used by academics,
government researchers and corporate R&D professionals who need a
comprehensive and efficient place to search, discover and analyze
research.

QS and THE are not alone: More than 3500 organizations, including more than 150 research organizations, rely on Scopus data

Funding data being added to Scopus as we speak
What?
• Add full text acknowledgement sections to Scopus
• Index the Funding information (Funding nr, Funding Acronym, Funding Sponsor)
Why?
• Funder to see their ROI
• Full text allows for verification of funding data & identifying additional funding sources
Coverage years
• Going back to 2008 and from 2016 going forward
| 16 |
Content Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB)
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”
Titles are selected by the
independent Content Selection
& Advisory Board (CSAB)
| 17 |
Less than half of the reviewed titles are selected for Scopus coverage
The CSAB is selective and strict on quality: in total 5,411 titles reviewed (2011 –2015) of
which 2,587 (48%) accepted for Scopus

Scopus can help researchers
Find out what already exists in the global world of research output
Determine how to differentiate research topics and find new ideas
Decide what, where and with whom to partner or collaborate with
Track impact of research; monitor global research trends
Identify and analyze which journals to read or where to submit an article
Help researchers manage their career through citation counts and the h-index

42% regarded as
‘important’
3.7 Hrs spent
SEARCHING for
articles per week
5.6 Hrs spent
READING articles per
week
6 articles read
per week
Researchers spend an average
10 hours per week searching
for and reading articles
….of which, 3.5 hours is spent
searching for research articles and
5.5 hours reading.
• Researchers in Chemistry and
Life Science spend longer than
average searching for articles
and chemists spend longer
reading
• Younger researchers spend >
4hrs a week searching.
• Researchers from China spend
longer searching (six hours)
and reading (nine hours)
articles than any other country.
n=4,225
• A researcher typically reads six articles per week.
• Chemists read nine per week. Mathematicians
read four articles per week.
• China-based researchers read one more than
average per week (7 articles).
• After searching and reading for 10 hrs per week
only 42% of the papers read are considered
important.

Search Tips General
1. Capital / Non-capital letter
2. Singular / Plural forms / Possessives
3. British / American spellings
4. ( “ … ” ) Quotation mark
5. ( { ... } ) Curly Brackets Wildcards
1. ( ? ) Question Mark for one alphabet search
Ex. Wom?n = Woman , Women
2. ( * ) Asterisk for multi alphabets search
Ex. Toxi* = Toxic , Toxicity , Toxicology etc.
3. Subscript and Superscript:
Ex. "H2O," enter H2O
4. Accented Characters:
Ex. Fürst, enter Fürst or Furst.
Operator Priority Order 1. OR 2. W/n or PRE/n 3. AND 4. AND NOT
| 22 |
Search Term Rules - Boolean
Boolean Operators
• AND Finds only documents that contain all of the terms. The terms may be far apart from each other. e.g. food AND poison
• OR Finds documents that contain any of the terms. It is used to cover synonyms, alternate spellings, or abbreviations.
e.g. weather OR climate; “green fluorescent protein” OR gfp
• AND NOT Excludes documents that include the specified term from the search. It must be used at the end of a search.
e.g. tumor AND NOT malignant
| 23 |
Order of Precedence Rules Boolean
http://help.elsevier.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2849/p/8150/kw/boolean/search/1
Proximity operators Pre/n and W/n are processed after OR and before AND
This is a similar concept to “order of operations” in maths
Basically, the search engine needs to know what to do first
Pre/n
W/n

What is the solution? ORCID!
ORCID, the Original Researcher Contributor ID, provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.

Author quantity & quality by “ h-Index ”
• Developed in 2005 by Jorge Hirsch, a condensed-matter
physicist and peace activist from University of California in
San Diego
“The h-index is the highest number of papers a scientist
has that have at least that number of citations.”
Nature (2005)
• Ignores the highly & poorly cited papers
• Dynamic, not a static number – can change as citations increase, real-
time in Scopus
• Can be used to measure : Authors, Journals, Institutions, Departments,
Faculties, Selection of Papers etc..etc..etc

Analyze Author Output

Author Feedback
• Some authors have more than one Author Profile, in which case they can easily be
combined.
• Incorrect documents can also be removed during this process.
| 48 |
Author Feedback Wizard
• The Author Feecback Wizard allows you to make changes to an author profile
• The best person to give such feedback is of course the author him/herself, but in
principal others can also give feedback
| 49 |
Affiliation Search
Here we do an affiliation search for “Thailand”
| 50 |
Affiliation Search Results
The results
shows all
affiliation
profiles
which
includes
“Thailand”
in either
the name
or country
field.
| 51 |
• Affiliation profiles are profiles which group papers published at relevant institutions.
• The Quality of the profiles is Excellent, yet institutions are welcome to provide
feedback to Elsevier.

Impact FactorTM
A ratio between citations and recent citable items published in a journal;
the average number of citations received per published article.
A = the number of times that all items
published in that journal in 2006 and 2007
were cited by indexed publications during
2008.
B = the total number of "citable items"
published by that journal in 2006 and 2007.
("Citable items" for this calculation are
usually articles, reviews, proceedings, or
notes; not editorials or letters to the editor).
Citations to non-source items (editorials, letters, news items, book reviews, abstracts, etc) may inflate the IF

SJR: SCImago Journal Rank
All 20K journals have a SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) a prestige metric based on
the idea that not all citations are equal
Life Sciences
journal
High impact, lots of citations
One citation = low value
Arts & Humanities
journal
Low impact, few on citations
One citation = high value
SJR normalizes for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields
• SJR is a variant of the eigenvector centrality measure used in network
theory and is inspired by the PageRank algorithm used in Google.
• Prestige transferred when a journal cites
• Citations are weighted depending on where they come from
• journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations
| 60 |
SNIP: Source-normalized impact per paper
Journal IPP Cit. Pot. SNIP (RIP/Cit. Pot.)
Inventiones Mathematicae 1.5 0.4 3.8
Molecular Cell 13.0 3.2 4.0
All 20K journals have a Source-normalized impact per paper (SNIP)
measuring contextual citation impact by weighting citations per subject field
