Scopus - Article, Citation, & Research Impact Database

• Scopus lists all references cited in each document/article covered by its publication list.
  • Covers articles/documents from a curated collection of 20,000+ academic journals, including leading journal titles in each field and many secondary/specialized journals.
• Citations / Cited by feature traces each time a source was cited in the large/comprehensive Scopus collection.
• This includes some citation tracing for items not originally published in a Scopus journal (but were cited in a Scopus journal).

To view which sources are citing an entry in Scopus, look for the following links:

• Cited by - linked on a search results page (to the right of the entry)
• Citations in Scopus  - linked on a "full record" display of a Scopus document (below the full bibliographic information)

• On the results screen
  • Documents - Publications in Scopus Journals containing the Reference
  • Secondary Documents - Cited References to sources published outside of Scopus journals

On a search results list, you can generate a list of all references cited on a topic (including all references in Scopus journals matching the search terms).

The list is sortable by frequency (the sources cited in the most in this area) and provides links (to full records for the source document).
