Scopus Adds New Features
Elsevier’s Scopus database introduced two new features: a redesigned header for increased interoperability with Elsevier’s benchmarking and analytics product SciVal; and Impact per Publication (IPP), a new metric for comparing and evaluating journals.SciVal is built on top of Scopus data, allowing users to compare and benchmark institutions, research areas, and researchers. Now users of both tools can easily switch back and forth between them. The IPP metric, which helps researchers and librarians decide where to publish, was added to the Scopus Compare Journals tool and other Scopus locations where applicable. Source: Scopus
