Why?- Improve the completeness and coverage of back files in Scopus- Enhance the relevancy and visibility of archival content in Scopus- Measure the impact of pre-1996 – for both individual assessment and (historical) trend analysis.- Increase the accuracy of Scopus Author Profiles for older researchers and decision makers.

Pre-1996 cited references expansion program

Coverage years

• Pre-1996, going back to 1970

Number of articles

• We estimate 8M+ articles will be (re-) processed to include cited references

Which Archives

• Archives from all major publishers that have digital archives available

• All subject areas included

What?

Development of required systems and processes

has already started

The first content with pre-1996 cited references will

be visible in Q4 2014

Completed by 2016 when >8M articles from all major

publishers have been loaded

When?
