Scopus is an Abstract & Citation research tool that helps you find ideas, track the impact of your work, monitor trends, and quickly and accurately decide what, where or with whom to publish.

Scopus is extremely easy to use and offers broader coverage of global research. This allows users to find more ideas in a single search, identify potential global collaborators, and receive greater prestige in the form of higher citations and publication output.
