About Scopus

With technology changing at an accelerating rate, you need the right support to ensure that you continue to help your users and institution thrive in a competitive and global research environment. As the largest, curated abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, Scopus gives you the insights and tools to deliver best-in-class research experiences and fuel your institution’s research strategy and performance.

Gain greater insights into Scopus, and use this knowledge to expand training and consulting options with library users. The primary audience for this training session is:

• Librarians responsible for training students and researchers in using Scopus, including reference, instruction, scholarly communication, and subject librarians​
