More than 25,000 titles (including open access journals) from around the world are covered in Scopus. Links to full text of articles are provided for items included in library subscriptions.
In Scopus, it is possible to perform quick searches by document, author, or affiliation. The Advanced search option offers greater customization, allowing for the use of field codes and proximity operators. Results can be further refined by publication year, author name, document type, source name, affiliation, language, and more.
Scopus can be used to determine the impact of specific authors, articles/documents, and journals.There are several methods of analysis available in Scopus.

For authors, there is the Author Evaluator and h-index.
