The Power of Scopus Data

CiteScore is current, comprehensive, clear and free for everyone to use.

CiteScore 2019 will be available shortly with a revised methodology. This webinar is designed for Researchers explaining how CiteScore and other journal metrics can be employed in your day-to-day work and provide helpful tips & tricks.

Join us for this webinar to learn how to:
• Compare and select the right journal for your next article
• Decide which journals to read and reference
• Uncovering new, impactful open access journals

We will provide you with the basic rules for employing several journal metrics to make better decisions, provide an overview of how CiteScore is calculated and answer all your questions.

Journal impact metrics are often discussed, especially when in popular usage they become proxies for complex concepts such as quality or impact. However, they also have many distinct and helpful applications.

Each metric may offer a different emphasis based on its underlying data source, method of calculation, or context of use. For this reason, we promote the responsible use of research metrics.

CiteScore is a suite of journal impact metrics introduced in 2016 and available at no cost within the Scopus, and CiteScore 2019 will be available with a revised methodology.

Join our webinar to learn how employing the CiteScore and other journal impact metrics can support Librarians with:
• Developing your portfolio management strategy
• Providing insight into which serial titles to subscribe to
• Empowering researchers to uncover journals which to submit their work to
• Teach students how to employ transparent and easy to understand journal metrics

We will discuss the importance of employing several metrics to make better decisions, provide an overview of how CiteScore is calculated and answer all your questions.

Over the past two decades, the world has faced several infectious disease outbreaks. Ebola, Influenza A (H1N1), SARS, MERS, Zika virus and, most recently, COVID-19, have had a massive global impact in terms of economic disruption, strain on local and global public health resources and, above all, human health.

Please join us for this webinar as Dr. Bamini Jayabalasingham explains how the research was conducted to uncover trends in outbreaks research, the various governmental bodies involved and the ways to identify health security research.

Dr. Margaret Trexler Hessen will provide insight into how the research fits into the clinical context and why it matters. ​

Senior Product Manager Chris James will show practical examples of how SciVal and Scopus were used to analyze scholarly output, trending topics and top research organizations working to strengthen our understanding of infectious disease outbreaks.

The research for this webinar is also available as an Infographic, which is available download for free: https://www.elsevier.com/connect/infographic-global-research-trends-in-infectious-disease

Scopus Author Profiles provide an overview of your citations and other important metrics, which can be included in applications for grant funding, promotion and tenure files. Author Profiles are increasingly important for assessing collaborators, providing you a competitive advantage when preparing job applications and will support decisions concerning funding.

Dr. Eleonora Presani, Scopus product manager, provides insight into how profiles are created and curated, tips for ensuring that your profile is correct and up-to-date and how to combine qualitative and quantitative metrics to emphasize your research impact.

Join our webinar on Wednesday 11th September at 3pm CET , to learn how rigorous indexing processes enable you to access the high-quality content you need in Scopus. With its independent expert title selection, re-evaluation, and publication discontinuation practices, Scopus has created a state-of-the-art defense against predatory publishing, while improving research integrity.

Join us for a webinar on Thursday, June 6th as we discuss how Scopus can assist librarians in addressing researchers’ top priorities and questions, such as:
•Where do I publish?
•How can I make sure my research is novel?
•How can I easily maintain my researcher profile and showcase my impact?

Co-presenting the webinar will be:

A debate on challenges and opportunities in open access & open data

Scopus is considered the Gold Standard for research assessment and evaluation purposes by 4,500+ universities and 150+ leading research organizations worldwide. Join as us we discuss the richness of Scopus data and the value it provides for data-driven insight.

Over the past 10 years, Scopus has emerged as the partner of choice in the fast-developing field of rankings. Join us for a discussion on the importance of A&I data to ranking organizations, and why they choose Scopus.

Scopus has recently added over 195 million more cited references dating back to 1970 to complement the database's existing records that date back 1788 and further increase the depth of content.
Added cited references mean:
•more extensive bibliometric and historic trend analysis
•more complete author profiles
•improved h-index measures for authors who began publishing prior to 1996

Learn more about the depth of Scopus content along with more insights into our content policies, selection criteria and data quality.
