Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature including scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research. 

These monthly webinars will showcase how to use and benefit from Scopus.

Research assessment should not be centered solely on bibliometrics such as publication and citation metrics but should encompass other measures that address the broad range of assessment-related questions. These cover research inputs, outputs and outcomes, such as funding, collaboration, usage, commercialization and the adoption of innovation. As more diverse data sources and metrics are used, a richer and more informative picture of research emerges.

The International Center for the Study of Research (ICSR) was established by Elsevier in 2019 with a mission to further the study of research and thus to contribute to the evidence base supporting the practice of research strategy, evaluation and policy. In 2020, ICSR and Elsevier signed the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and endorsed the Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics, two internationally-recognized statements of best practice in responsible research assessment.

In this Library Connect webinar, Christopher Belter will discuss what responsible research assessment might look like in practice for a large biomedical funding agency. ICSR staff members Andrew Plume and Holly Falk-Krzesinski will then discuss the recommendations of both DORA and the Leiden Manifesto and their implications for Elsevier as well as for librarians and their users.

Advancing responsible research assessment: implications for librarians

One of the primary purposes of the IR is to serve an institution’s faculty by representing the full breadth of their works.  However, creating a comprehensive archive is one of the hardest, most burdensome challenges for IR managers.

Register now to learn about the new Scopus-to-Digital Commons harvesting API, which can save IR managers up to 90% of the time it typically takes to add faculty publication records into the IR. 

Hear from two institutions, Michigan Technological University and Missouri University of Science and Technology, as they share their experiences using the API to populate their IRs and showcase their faculty’s work to the world.

Live audience Q&A will follow.

Presenters:
- Shandon Quinn, VP Product Management, Digital Commons
- Annelise Doll, Scholarly Communications and Repositories Librarian, Michigan Tech University
- Nancy Krost, Institutional Repository Coordinator, Missouri University of Science and Technology

Researchers: CiteScore 2019 and the responsible use of metrics

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.

The many helpful applications of journal impact metrics

Integrating Scopus APIs into your everyday workflow

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.

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.

Scopus Author Profiles: How they work and why you should keep it up-to-date

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:

Margaret Phillips, Purdue University
Margaret is an Assistant Professor of Library Science and Engineering Information Specialist at Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies. She is the Libraries liaison to the Schools of Engineering Technology, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Nuclear Engineering.

Eleonora Presani, Elsevier

How Scopus can help address researchers’ most pressing questions

Bill Mischo, Head of the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, shows how he employed a combination of Scopus APIs to generate research impact visualizations to support strategic planning in the College of Engineering’s new engineering-based college of medicine. The custom databases and visualizations showcase the research impact of various units or groups– for grant applications, program review, and other research assessments. It also allows individual researchers to visualize their research network.

Matt DiRenzo (Scopus APIs Product Manager) will discuss some of the basic (and more complex) use cases of the Scopus APIs and their advantages when compared to downloading data from the scopus.com platform.

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.

The Power of Scopus Data

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 Data for Ranking Organizations

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.

All About Scopus Content

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.
