Scopus Introduces New Functionality and Content
Elsevier’s Scopus announced that it has added new features to the abstract and citation database that are designed to further improve research productivity and support the researchers’ workflow. The new features include the ability to search for and browse through relevant content derived from cited references, additional and flexible clustering categories in the "Refine Results" feature, the inclusion of prepublished journal articles across all subject areas—said to be a first for any multidisciplinary abstract and citation database—and extension of the self-citation exclusion options within the Scopus Citation Tracker.As the pace of scientific discovery increases, finding the most current research results has become increasingly important for both academic and corporate researchers. Partnerships with leading journal publishers will ensure that research results of these "Articles-in-Press" can be found on Scopus up to 4 months before their official publication date. Additionally, Scopus has improved the visibility of conference papers allowing researchers to focus on emerging scientific work and early research trends originating from conference papers. For more information about these and other additions to the Scopus database, visit www.info.scopus.com/november_07. Source: Scopus
