Find the research that matters, and measure it
The Scopus abstract citation database combines a uniquely thorough collection of abstracts and citations with enriched, linked scholarly data across a wide span of disciplines. It is where researchers go to locate authoritative work quickly, identify the experts in a field, and — through its metrics — judge the impact of what they find.
Inside this resource
A curated citation index
At its core is an exhaustive, curated set of abstracts and citations with the scholarly literature linked together, which is what lets you follow a paper forward to who cited it and backward to what it built on.
Metrics inside the Scopus abstract citation database
Beyond finding papers, it supplies sophisticated author- and source-level metrics and analytical tools, so you can evaluate research impact and identify leaders in a field rather than guessing from raw counts.
One platform for the whole workflow
From a single subscription it supports finding relevant, authoritative research, surfacing experts, and drawing on reliable data to guide teaching and strategic decisions — the discovery and evaluation sides of research in one place.
Who this serves
- Researchers and academics — discover authoritative work and trace citations across disciplines.
- Research managers and deans — author and source metrics to assess impact and benchmark output.
- Systematic reviewers — a curated citation index for comprehensive, traceable searching.

Loved by researchers & students
Excellent for citation tracking and metrics. It is an index not a full-text library, which is fine once you pair it with one — very useful…
Broad discipline coverage and reliable citation data. Remember it points to full text rather than hosting it.
We use the author metrics for benchmarking. Solid analytics; you do have to learn to read them properly.
Following a paper forward to everyone who cited it is how I map a field now. The citation index is worth the subscription on its own.
Best tool for finding the actual experts in a niche. Traced three reviewers for a grant panel in minutes.
