How to Find Scopus Indexed Journals – Hello, research enthusiasts! Are you interested in Scopus and want to find the best journals, or verify a journal’s indexing in one of the top scientific abstract and citation databases by Elsevier? If so, this blog is designed for you. We’re going to discuss the best and simplest ways to find journals indexed in Scopus.
First, let’s talk about what Scopus is. Scopus is a scientific abstract and citation database developed by Elsevier. According to recent reports, there are over 46,534+ journals indexed in Scopus.
Scopus is a reliable source of indexed journals for Life Sciences, Social Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Health Sciences disciplines.
Now, let’s discuss how to find Scopus-indexed journals in easy steps.
Steps to find Scopus Indexed Journals
- If you want to find Scopus-indexed journals, first visit the official Scopus website at www.scopus.com
- Now, click on the “Sources” button to access the journal list, as shown in the image below.
- Here, you’ll find a list of Scopus-indexed journals along with their CiteScore and citation data. The top journals will appear on the first page.
- Here, you can search for journals by title, ISSN, subject, or publisher name. Simply choose any option based on how you want to find a journal.
- In my case, I am searching for a journal by Subject area. Simply select the “Subject Area” option, then choose the desired subject and click in apply button, as shown in the image below.
- Once you click on the blue “Apply” button, you will see a list of journals based on the subject area you selected.
- Now, click on any journal title to check its indexing status in Scopus. In my case, I am clicking on the first option, “CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.”
- Once you click on the journal title, you will be able to see the journal’s indexing status in Scopus along with other details such as Scopus indexing coverage, publisher, ISSN, subject area, and various metrics like CiteScore, SJR, and SNIP, as shown in the image below.
- When checking the indexing status of a journal, be sure to review the details carefully in the journal section. Many people mistakenly assume that if a journal appears in Scopus, it is indexed in Scopus, but this is not always the case. For example, as shown in the screenshot below, the journal is listed as “covered by Scopus: from 2009 to 2021.” This means that if you are looking at the journal in 2023-24, it is no longer indexed in Scopus, as Scopus coverage only goes up to 2021. So, be cautious and verify the information thoroughly.
