I mentioned last year our trial of Scopus. As announced in the latest RMIT Update we now have this resource:
Our acquisition of Scopus is a win for researchers. Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources with smart tools for tracking, analysing and visualising research. It’s easy to use and has global coverage.
Scopus gives you:
- 15,000 peer-reviewed journals from more than 4,000 publishers;
- 1000 open access journals;
- 500 conference proceedings;
- patent information; and
- 17 million records from before 1996.
Scopus lets you:
- refine search results;
- track citations;
- find the most highly cited articles and authors in your area;
- see research trends from a particular year or group of years;
- distinguish between authors with similar names;
- set up search and citation alerts and RSS feeds;
- display your work on your personal homepage using profiling options to create HTML feeds or cited by counts;
- measure research performance by identifying papers of an individual, tracking the citations and analysing their influence using the Scopus h-index; and
- go straight to the full text of an article or learn more about a particular author.
Scopus is available from Search It.
