Scopus contains 1.7B+ cited references since 1970, with 19.5M+ author profiles. This includes global abstract coverage from 7K+ publishers, 28K+ peer-reviewed scientific journals and 25.3M+ open access items. This content is curated by the CSAB, an independent panel that ensures this content is of the highest quality, no matter the source or publisher. 

How can R&D teams use Scopus to track the research landscape?

R&D teams use Scopus for literature search and analysis – tracking emerging and existing trends and using this data to make critical decisions throughout the R&D process. Almost 13K articles are added to Scopus every day, enabling teams to quickly access relevant research and explore multidisciplinary content across industries. 

Linked author data in Scopus can also be used to track key opinion leaders (KOLs) and other key figures, identifying research avenues and partners for collaboration. 

How does Scopus provide a competitive edge for industry?
