Scopus

This guide provides information about using Scopus to find articles and citations. 

  • Use Scopus when you would like to see results similar to an article you've already found
  • Scopus is great for identifying a specific author's scholarly output
  • Scopus can return results ranked by number of times cited, as well as ranked by relevance or date
  • Scopus often contains live links to the reference's full text
  • Scopus is also good for "forward searching" as it shows who has cited an article (with live links to those citations as well!)
