Springer archive (back to 1869)
Institute of Physics (back to 1874)
American Physical Society (back to 1893)
American Institute of Physics (back to 1939)
Royal Society of Chemistry (back to 1841)
The journal Nature (back to 1950)
The journal Science (back to 1880)
Elsevier archive (back to 1823)

How is content selected?
More expansive coverage does not mean
lower standards
Titles are selected by the
independent Content
Selection & Advisory
Board (CSAB)
Focus on quality through selection by 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 is “reflecting the truth”
•Assurance that titles selected by Scopus meet the highest ethical standards

Open Research and Contributor ID (ORCID)Aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in research and scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers
The Solution: The ORCID Registry

How are you being measured?
Which metric to use?
1. What level am I assessing?
• Article, Journal, Researcher, Institution, etc.
2. What type of impact am I assessing?
• Scientific, Clinical, Societal, Educational, etc.
3. What methods are available based on above?
• Quantitative: citation, usage, media, h-index, SNIP, SJR, etc.
• Qualitative: Peer-review, etc.
Bibliometrics (quantitative measures used to asses research output)
Basic premise = Citation is a form of endorsement
Bibliometricians agree that no single metric can effectively capture the
entire spectrum of research performance because no single
metric can address all key variables
H-index accounts for a body of work
cited 22 times
or more
22 papers
h-index is the
highest number
of a scholar’s
papers, h, that
have each
received at least
h citations
H-Index - Jorge E. Hirsch (Physicist, 2005)
www.journalmetrics.com
More accuracy, More transparency, More options, More metrics!
+ + +A journal’s raw
impact per paper
Citation potential in
its subject field
Peer reviewed
papers only
A field’s frequency
and immediacy
of citation
Database
coverage
Journal’s scope
and focusMeasured relative to
database median
SNIP: Source-normalized impact per paper
Prestige metric: Prestige transferred when a journal cites
• Citations are weighted depending on where they come from
• A journal’s prestige is shared equally between its citations
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: SCImago Journal Rank

Export limits increased
Increase in export limitation from 2,000 to 20,000 documents
Easier to download larger amounts of data for evaluation purposes
Easier to download larger amounts of data for evaluation purposes
Increased integration w/ORCID
Scopus Author Identifiers that are associated with an ORCID profile, now link to ORCID and display all public information.
Scopus collaborates with important players in the industry
Better visibility of author publications in Scopus via ORCID
Re-design Scopus UIContinue to modernize the Scopus UI, meeting accessibility guidelines for getting government contracts in
Meets accessibility guidelines, less effort needed to train (new) users, makes Scopus more convenient to use for students
More intuitive way of searching, higher research efficiency
Integration with Mendeley
Scopus will offer users the option to export and save references into their Mendeley account
Integration with one of the leading new reference management tools
Easy to export large amount of documents/references to Mendeley
Key Changes : The Scopus interface is more action driven. Items or icons will only
appear active when the user performs an action.
It is easier to scan results on the Results page and to sort and export the chosen results.
Author and Affiliation profiles are optimized for easier scanning, amongst other improvements.
Additional ‘Advanced search’ fields for funding: FUND‐SPONSOR (Funding sponsor), FUND‐ACR(Sponsor acronym from FundRef), FUND‐NO (Grant number) were added.
Redesign of Scopus User Interface
Scopus helps researchers, Librarians & Key Decision Makers to
overcome their challenges and reach their goals quickly and effectively
Scopus for research community
