Online certification
Certification Scopus
In French
The six-week online certification program includes six modules: thematic research, author profiles, indicators, Scopus APIs, institutional profiles and user outreach.
The program is free, but your institution must have a Scopus subscription.
You will need approximately six hours to complete this route in total. One hour per week, and one module each week. As the program is online, you can participate on the day or time that suits you.
As a Scopus certified librarian or documentalist, you will have the opportunity:
to develop in-depth knowledge of solutions to conduct research, identify collaborations, and have key indicators
to establish and develop internal training programs to support your users
to develop in-depth know-how and skills in monitoring and evaluating research
to share your experience in order to develop best practices and guide relay people in their developments
Scopus
More than 150 users of Scopus across France have already obtained Scopus certification, an online program of 6 modules spread over 6 weeks. Here is an article that presents the training offered.
This year, several cohorts are planned again in French, with the program reflecting recent changes in functionality and user interface:
Cohort 2024.1: March 17th to April 25th, 2025
Cohort 2024.2: June 16th to July 25th, 2025
SciVal Certification
Offered in English
The six-week online certification program consists of six modules:
Getting started with SciVal
Measurement and Indicators
Institutional Profiles
Working with researchers and groups of researchers
Reporting
User awareness and deployment
The program is free of charge, and is an integral part of your institution's subscription to SciVal. In total, it will take you approximately six hours to complete the program at a rate of one hour per week, and one module per week. You can choose the time that suits you best.
At the end of the program, you will be able to:
Explain how to get started with SciVal
Discuss indicators and the information that can be derived from them
Work with researchers and groups of researchers
Build reports and explain how to deploy SciVal in your institution
SciVal
Nearly 50 French users are now SciVal certified. New cohorts are of course being organised this year. The format is also organised over 6 weeks and allows participants to acquire a solid knowledge base of SciVal functionalities, while offering them the opportunity to network with SciVal users from other institutions.
Cohort 1 : 10 March 2025
Cohort 2 : 6 October 2025
Research Data Management Librarians Academy (RDMLA)
Offered in English
The RDMLA, a free online professional development program for librarians, information professionals and others, is now available and offers individuals the opportunity to develop skills in research data management.
RDMLA is aimed primarily at librarians, but is also relevant to researchers. The program consists of eight modules, which you can attend one after the other, or independently, as you wish. Each module lasts an average of one hour and consists of videos, slides, demonstrations, reading resources and self-assessments.
The RDMLA and general information about it can be found here.
Training sessions
Available in French
In consultation with its consultant, each institution can determine its own training program, for progressive learning according to its needs and priorities, throughout the subscription to the solution.
These sessions can be adjusted to suit the target audience, e.g. lecturers, librarians and documentalists, members of the research department, etc.
The sessions focus on themes that are important to you. For example, they may cover searches in Scopus, research visibility, relevant indicators for monitoring the impact of publications, monitoring trends, the visibility of your institution and its laboratories, etc. These training courses are subject to change as the functionality of the solutions develops.
If you are interested in organising such sessions, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
