Data | Curated. Connected. Complete.
75M+ records. 24,600 titles. 5,000 publishers.

Scopus is a source-neutral abstract and citation database, curated

by independent subject matter experts. It places powerful discovery
and analytics tools in the hands of researchers, librarians,
institutional research managers, and funders.
Scopus generates precise citation search results and automatically
updated researcher profiles, creating richer connections between
people, published ideas, and institutions. In addition to protecting
the integrity of the scholarly record, Scopus helps bolster
institutional research performance, rank, and reputation.

Scopus is updated daily, therefore,

the numbers presented here are
subject to change.
