Content Overview

The largest up-to-date collection of global, unbiased and expertly sourced research

You
need to keep track of what's happening in your research world. Across
all research fields—science, mathematics, engineering, technology,
health and medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities—Scopus
delivers a broad overview of global, interdisciplinary scientific
information
that researchers like you need.

Comprehensive:
You never know where your research enquiries will take you. It's why
Scopus has twice as many titles and over 30% more publishers listed than
any other A&I database, with interdisciplinary content that covers
the research spectrum: timely updates from thousands of
peer-reviewed journals; preliminary findings from millions of
conference papers; and the thorough analysis in thousands of books.

Frequently updated: Never miss out on what's new in your field. Scopus is the only leading database that is updated daily rather than just weekly.

Unbiased:
You can rely on our independent and expert content selection &
advisory board (CSAB) using strict criteria to vet every source that
Scopus includes. Learn more
about our current board and content selection methods.

Reliable:
By focusing on the world of research, you can trust that your Scopus
search results will be accurate and relevant, and delivered to you
quickly so you can spend less time searching and more time reading. scopus infograph
