Every day you have to do the CHOICE
What to eat for breakfast?
Which way to go to office?
What to do in the
evening?
What information resource to
choose?
If you work with STM information you have to follow current trends to be the best:
• Researches are more multidisciplinary
• More international collaboration in researches at the same time more competitive
• Financial output
• More time is spent to find relevant information than to analyze it
• Need access to up-to-date information 24/7, continuous monitoring of world tendency in your field
• It’s not enough to find relevant information, it should be evaluated
If you want to follow these trends… your only choice is …
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of research literature and quality web sources. It's designed to find the information scientists need. Quick, easy and comprehensive, Scopus provides superior support of the literature research process. Updated daily, Scopus offers

• Over 57 million additional cited references that are not covered by Scopus as such (e.g. books)
• “Articles-in-Press”from over 3,000 journals. These articles are available in Scopus prior to their official publication date, from Elsevier, Springer / Kluwer, Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers, Nature Publishing Group (NPG) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The AIP articles from BioMed Central will be available shortly
• Coverage is over 99% complete as of 1996 - issue level

Journal Analyzer:
• for Editors/publishing teamsThe Scopus Journal Analyzer gives quick, easy access to an objective and transparent overview of the performance of your own and your competitors’ journals over time. This can help you analyze and manage journal portfolios more effectively, identify new growth areas, set out a strategy to increase performance or decide which journals you would like to be an editorial board member for.
• for Researchers/University scientistsThe Scopus Journal Analyzer enables you to search for journals within a specific field, identify which are the most influential and find out who publishes them. This will help you to decide where to publish to get the best visibility for your work and how to prioritize your submissions. It can also help you decide which journal you would like to review for.
• for Librarians and information specialistsThe Scopus Journal Analyzer enables you to search for all journals in a specific subject area and view their current details and performance over time. This will help you ensure you are only investing in the most influential and relevant journals.
Journal Analyzer
You can select and compare up to 10 journals in a specific field
Provides you with four graphical/table
representations of the journals
Total Citations displays the total number of citations the selected journals receive over the course of each year
Articles Published shows the number of articles published by each journal over time
Trend Line provides the number of citations received in that year, regardless of the publication date of the cited document, divided by the total number of documents published in that year
% Not Citations shows the percentage of not cited documents of the selected journals over the course of each year
Citation Tracker
You can follow the impact of published documents
via Citation Tracker

The Scopus Author Identifier
The Scopus Author Identifier helps solve one of the biggest problems associated with author searching:
• How do you distinguish between articles belonging authors with similar names? • How can you be confident that you captured all results for an author when their
name is recorded in different ways? • And, can you be sure that names with unusual characters such as accents have
been included?
Author IdentifierAuthor Identifier presents the preferred author name along with the
variants of the name that have been grouped into an author profile.
Automatic grouping into one Author Profile done by:Variants of name;
Source titles; So-authors;
Subject area;Affiliation
If one of the criteria is not similar, Scopus doesn’t group documents
into one Author Profile.But you can do it manually !

h-index
The h-index (short for highly cited index) was developed in 2005 by Professor Hirsch, a condensed-matter physicist at the University of California in San Diego, to qualify the impact and quantity of an individual’s research performance.
Professor Hirsch states in the introduction to his paper that most researchers seek to gain a better understanding of the impact of their work, “For the few scientists who earn a Nobel Prize, the impact and relevance of their research is unquestionable. How does one quantify
the cumulative impact and relevance of an individual’s scientific research output?”
A scientist has index h if h of his or her NP (number of papers) papers have at least h citations each and the other (NP – h) papers have fewer than h citations each.

Benefits of Author Identifier:
• for authorsit does the hard work for you by automatically matching variations of an author’s name and distinguishing between authors with the same name. All the documents beloning to a speciifc author will be listed in the author's details (including numbers of citations received, affiliations, h-index)
• for deans, chancellors, provosts and heads of departmentsit will ensure you can identify people and their work more quickly and efficiently. This leaves you with more time for the actual work and enables you to make well-informed strategic decisions.
• for librarians and information specialistsit ensures you have all the documents belonging to an individual author as part of your institute within your own repository.
The Scopus Affiliation Identifier is the world’s first online tool to automatically identify and match an organization with all of its research output. It turns an
expensive and laborious task into a simple search - leaving you with more time to analyze the results and make clear, informed decisions.
This is a notoriously difficult task because the organization’s name is often spelled or recorded differently by individual sources; it may change its name or have a
name that is very similar to another organization. One such example is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where articles found in Scopus and published by authors belonging to this institute carry more than 1,700 name
variants.

Benefits of Affiliation Identifier:
• for deans, chancellors, provosts it will help reduce investment in research performance measurement by reducing the time needed by staff to perform laborious bibliometric searches. This will allow money to be invested in other areas such as education and learning. Ultimately, the Scopus Affiliation Identifier will help you make faster, better-informed strategic decisions
• for heads of departmentsit reduces the time needed to identify and aggregate all the documents belonging to a specific organization. This leaves you with more time to do the actual benchmarking analysis, and enables you to make well-informed strategic decisions
• for senior and middle managementit will ensure you can identify research trends more quickly and efficiently
• for librariansit ensures you have all the documents belonging to your institute within your own repository.
