Join Us for Scopus™ Day

Join us on April 5 for one of two catered research sessions to learn about the Scopus™ database.

Scopus™ representatives and the Library’s Scopus™ Student Ambassador, Jennifer Domise, will be hosting two research sessions that focus on how to use Scopus™ in your research and studies:

Scopus™ Lunch and Learn – noon - 1:00 pm
Dana Porter Library, 4th Floor, Room 428

Scopus™ Pizza Event – 5:00 - 6:00 pm
Davis Centre Library, Room 1568

What is Scopus™?

Scopus™ is a large citation and abstract database, covering all subject areas. It contains nearly 18,000 peer-reviewed journals from more than 5,000 publishers with a range of advanced research features.

Each research session covers:

• an overview of the coverage available in the disciplines of Science, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Humanities & Social Sciences
• an introduction to searching Scopus™ and setting up personalized email alerts, RSS, and HTML feeds to stay up-to-date on new articles matching your search queries
• a review of advanced research features, including how to:
  • search for affiliation/university research output
  • determine an author's h-index (a performance measurement tool) and the journal
    analyzer
  • use Scopus' Citation Tracker to find, check, and track citation data year by year and in
    real-time

See our registration page to sign up.

Aren’t able to make the research sessions? Stop by the Scopus booth at the Dana Porter Library in the morning or the Davis Centre Library in the afternoon for information, refreshments, and giveaways.
