Scopus is a citation and abstract database of peer-reviewed literature. It contains over 50 million records in the areas of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, arts, and humanities, with coverage strongest in the physical sciences (7,200+ titles) and health sciences (6,800+ titles), followed by the life sciences (4,300+ titles), and finally the social sciences & humanities (5,300+ titles). Titles included in Scopus are selected based on journal policies, content, journal standing, regularity of publication, and online availability. 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.
When doing a lit review, it's important to know whether you're finding the main part of the conversation on your topic. Scopus helps us see how many citations a book or article has, and therefore how much attention it has gotten in the field. This gives us important information about the relationships between scholarly sources and helps to distinguish main articles from fringe articles.
Scopus can be tricky to get into. If you're having trouble signing in, you can use the directions in this guide (created specifically for users at Sewanee).
