Scopus
Scopus at a glance
•
An eye on global research.
• Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research. • Scopus delivers the most comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences and Arts & Humanities. • As research becomes increasingly global, interdisciplinary and collaborative, you can make sure that critical research from around the world is not missed.
Scopus’ broad global content means researchers don’t miss relevant research 55M

Pre-1996 cited references expansion program What?
Coverage years Number of articles
•
Pre-1996, going back to 1970
•
We estimate 8M+ articles will be (re-) processed to include cited references 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.
Which Archives
• •
Archives from all major publishers that have digital archives available All subject areas included When?
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

How does Scopus choose content?
All titles should meet all minimum criteria in order to be considered for Scopus review: Peer-review English abstracts Regular publication Roman script references Pub. ethics statement Eligible titles are reviewed by the Content Selection & Advisory Board according to a combination of 14 quantitative and qualitative selection criteria: Journal Policy Quality of Content Journal Standing Regularity Online Availability
• Convincing editorial concept/policy • Type of peer-review • Diversity geographic distribution of editors • Diversity geographic distribution of authors • Academic contribution to the field • Clarity of abstracts • Quality and conformity with stated aims & scope • Readability of articles • Citedness of journal articles in Scopus • Editor standing • No delay in publication schedule • Content available online • English-language journal home page • Quality of home page Info:

Metrics in Scopus
• IPP • SNIP and SJR • H-index
“
There is no single ‘best’ indicator that could accommodate all facets of the new reality of bibliometrics .”
- Wolfgang Glänzel, Head of bibliometrics group Professor at KU Leuven, Belgium
Impact Factor
• Originated by Eugene Garfield in 1955 evolving into Science Citation Index in 1961.
• Approximates the average number of citations per recent paper for a journal • Calculated yearly starting from 1975
IPP-Impact per Publication
• Measures the ratio of citations in a year to scholarly papers published in the previous three years.
• 3 years considered to be an optimal time period to accurately measure citations in most subject fields • Not normalized for subject field- when normalized it becomes SNIP
SNIP-Source Normalised Impact per Paper
• Developed by Henk Moed - CWTS (Centre for Science and Technology Studies)-Leiden University • Measures the average citation impact of the publications of a journal, correcting for the differences in citation practices between scientific fields and therefore allowing for more accurate between-field comparisons of citation impact • SNIP is field normalized, dependent on likelihood of citation in subject field of source
SNIP: Source-normalized impact per paper
All
20K
journals have
a Source-normalized impact per paper
(SNIP) measuring contextual citation impact by weighting citations per subject field - Peer-reviewed papers only Field’s frequency and immediacy of citation - Database coverage Journal’s scope and focus - Measured relative to database median

SJR- SCImago Journal
R
ank
• Developed by Felix de Moya, CSIC (Spanish Research Council) • Prestige metric- not all citations are the same • Citations are weighted depending on the status of the source they come from
SJR- SCImago Journal Rank
Life Sciences journal Arts & Humanities journal High impact, lots of citations One citation = low value Low impact, few on citations One citation = high value
SJR normalizes for differences in citation behaviour between subject fields
Altmetric
Integration of article level metrics into Scopus Mendeley
readership Statistics shows how many times Mendeley users have downloaded a specific article to their libraries.
Altmetric
is way to see all of the social or mainstream media mentions gathered for a particular paper as well as reader counts on popular reference managers
H-Index
• Originated by Jorge Hirsch in 2005 • A group of papers has index
h
if
h
of the papers have at least
h
citations each, and the other papers have no more than
h
citations each.
• Attempts to measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scholar
