Overview

The Scopus database, launched in 2004 by Elsevier, is the world's largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, covering over 24,600 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers. With a vast collection of scientific, technical, medical, and social sciences literature, Scopus provides a comprehensive overview of global research output. As of 2022, Scopus indexes over 77 million records, including articles, conference papers, book chapters, and more. The database is widely used by researchers, academics, and institutions to track citations, analyze research trends, and identify potential collaborators. With a vibe rating of 8, Scopus has become an essential tool for the academic community, facilitating the discovery of new research and ideas. However, its dominance has also raised concerns about the concentration of academic publishing power, with some critics arguing that it perpetuates a system of exclusion and inequality.
