SU Library subscribes to Scopus database
Syracuse University Library now subscribes to the Scopus database, published by Elsevier. Scopus is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary abstract and citation database covering scientific, engineering, medical, and social sciences information. In addition to title, author, and subject searching, Scopus provides cited reference searching capabilities, links to full-text, saved searches, and an alerting feature.
Scopus covers 15,000 peer-reviewed and open access journals from over 4,000 publishers, over 600 trade publications, 500 conference proceedings, 200 book series, as well as more than 386 million scientific web pages, and 22 million patent records from five patent offices. References and cited reference information are provided from 1996 forward. Abstracts go back further, with retrospective content being continually added. Scopus is updated daily with new information.
Scopus makes available an online interactive tutorial series; training sessions will be offered in the fall. For more information about Scopus or to schedule a demo, contact Elizabeth Wallace at elwallac@syr.edu.
