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 records from 21,912 serial titles and 65,000 books 21.3M pre 1996 records 33.7M post 1995 records Content from > 5,000 publishers Articles in Press from > 3,750 titles More than 2,800 Gold Open Access journals Indexed 6.5M conference proceedings Titles from 105 different countries in all geographical regions 40 local languages covered Automatically-generated profiles for more than 15M researchers
What content does Scopus include? Physical Sciences 6,600 Health Sciences 6,300 Social Sciences 6,350 Life Sciences 4,050 JOURNALS 21,912 peer-reviewed journals 367 trade journals - Full metadata, abstracts and cited references (pre-1996) - >2,800 fully Open Access titles - Going back to 1823 - Funding data from acknowledgements as of 2013 CONFERENCES 17k events 6.5M records (10%) Conf. expansion: 1,000 conferences 6,000 conf. events 400k conf. papers 5M citations Mainly Engineering and Physical Sciences BOOKS 421 book series - 28K Volumes - 925K items 50,000 books - 311K items Books expansion: 75K books by 2015 - Focus on Social Sciences and A&H PATENTS 24M patents from 5 major patent offices
What? Coverage years Number of articles Pre-1996 cited references expansion program 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: http://www.elsevier.com/online-tools/scopus/content-overview Questions: titlesuggestion@scopus.com

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 + + + impact per publication (IPP) Citation potential in its subject field Journal IPP Cit. Pot. SNIP (IPP/Cit. Pot.) Inventiones Mathematicae 1.5 0.4 3.8 Molecular Cell 13.0 3.2 4.0
SJR- SCImago Journal Rank 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
An example from Iran
g-index & m-index g-index Variant of h-index that emphasizes the most highly-cited papers in a data set m-index Variant of h-index that displays h-index per year since first publication
