More than 20,000 titles in Scopus, titles can be in more than one subject area Breadth of coverage across subject areas Health Sciences 6,300 • (100% Medline) • Nursing • Dentistry • etc., Social Sciences 6,350 • Psychology • Economics • Business • A&H • etc., Life Sciences 4,050 • Neuroscience • Pharmacology • Biology • etc., Physical Sciences 6,600 • Chemistry • Physics • Engineering • etc.,

  4. Wider coverage gives a more accurate picture of the research landscape Geographical distribution of titles 0 5,000

  5. How is content selected?

  6. More expansive coverage does not meanlower standards Titles are selected by the independentContent Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB) Focus on quality through selection by independent CSAB, because: • Provide accurate and relevant search results for users • No dilution of search results by irrelevant or low quality content • Support that Scopus is recognized as authoritative • Support confidence that Scopus is “reflecting the truth” • Assurance that titles selected by Scopus meet the highest ethical standards

  11. The Solution: The ORCID Registry Dr. Lee Dr. J. Lee Dr. James Lee Dr. James Lee 46533489 Open Research and Contributor ID (ORCID) Aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in research and scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers

  12. The (Future) Benefits of ORCID By issuing unique identifiers to all researchers, ORCID aims to facilitate discovery and evaluation for researchers, institutions, scholarly societies and publishers. 46533489

  13. Get your own ORCID Link to add to ORCID, opens the Scopus to ORCID feedback wizard

  14. Who is looking at you?

  15. Scopuscustomers world wide (2012 Analysis, by customer count) US: 37% China: 10% Low Penetration Mid-level Penetration High Penetration

  16. Scopus Leading research institutes use Scopus Non-Scopus

  17. More than 95 of the world’s top Laboratories, Institutes and Ranking Bodies use Scopus for evaluation Top decision making bodies around the world use Scopus data

  18. More accuracy, More transparency, More options, More metrics! www.journalmetrics.com

  19. http://www.info.sciverse.com/scopus/scopus-services/integration API integration using Scopus data Scopus Requests dynamic Scopus Cited-by number to display on website Use API to extract basic bibliographic data Title Author Basic bibliographic metadata
