Scopus is the biggest information base of peer-reviewed bibliography citations and abstracts: scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings. It was begun in 2004. Offering a far-reaching outline of global research results brings about the areas of science, innovation, medication, sociologies, and artistic expression, and humanities, Scopus incorporates savvy devices to follow, investigate, and imagine research.

As examination turns out to be progressively worldwide, interdisciplinary, and cooperative, you can guarantee that you’ll know about critical exploration from around the world if you pick the conference with Scopus publication.

Sometimes, it gives admittance to the full text of the records it incorporates. It additionally offers bibliometric instruments to assess the presence of distributions and writers, as indicated by the references got for each article.

Scopus allows:

• Search for documents and access the full text in case the Library has a subscription.
• One of the search options available on Scopus is by the funding agency. It also allows you to limit the results of a search to show patents.
• Evaluate the performance of the research using the SJR, Cite Score, and SNIP impact indices or the altimetric indices offered by PlumX (following the PlumX link the list of documents that cite the article in question is retrieved). Apart from the basic metrics of an author and his publications, Scopus Preview gives us metrics of a specific article.
• See which authors publish the most in an institution.
• With a conference with Scopus publication, you can track citations and visualize the h-index to know what is current in an area of research, providing the most cited articles and authors.
• Identify authors and find information related to the author (such as citations, a summary of their main metrics, their published works, list of documents that cite works of the author, list of co-authors with the number of works that have fet in collaboration, etc.)
• Stay updated in a field of research, an institution, or the production of a researcher and knows who quotes you, creating search alerts that reach us to the email.
• Generate lists of an author from a group of authors and export records that interest us.
• Export the data to bibliographic managers such as RefWorks, Mendeley, or EndNote.
• Have an author profile automatically, with the possibility of editing, including bibliometric data such as the h-index.
• Evaluate, select, and compare journals. With the Cite Score indicator from Journal metrics or the other rankings that work with Scopus data: SJR and CWTS Journal Indicators. Sometimes, journals that in JCR are in the third quartile, here they can be in second because there are many more journals, the classification of these can be more granular, or because of the different citation range that CiteScore uses versus JIF. Journal metrics contain more Arts and Humanities journals that do not appear in the JCR, just as the total number of social sciences or science and technology journals is higher in Journal metrics than in JCR.
• Conference with Scopus publication can help to know where to publish an article, thanks to the evaluation that can be made of the journals of a specific subject (with the consultation to Journal metrics).
• It gives all the metadata that the editors provide: “author(s), affiliation(s), document title, year, electrical identification (EID), source title, volume/number/pages, citation count, source, document type, and digital object identifier (DOI).
