Scopus as a Tool for Scholarly Discovery, Evaluation, and Engagement

Scopus can help faculty do more than locate articles—it can provide a broader view of the scholarly conversations, publication patterns, and research networks shaping a field. In this seminar, faculty will explore how Scopus can support literature discovery, reveal connections among researchers and journals, and offer insight into the influence and visibility of scholarly work. The session will also highlight ways to review and strengthen your own author presence in Scopus so that your publications are accurately represented and positioned for greater reach.

This session will cover:

What Scopus is and how it compares to other scholarly databases in our collection.

How to use Scopus to discover relevant literature, analyze citation patterns, and identify key journals and collaborators in your field.

How to ensure your own publications are accurately represented—and how to use Scopus to increase their reach and impact.
