Scopus covers different source types for a reason
JOURNALS
• Timely
• Peer-reviewed
(formal research)
All subject fields, but
typical fields with high
ratio of journal
publication: chemical,
biological, health sciences
etc.
CONFERENCES
BOOKS
• Preliminary research
(can be a bit less
formal)
• Newer ideas
• Thorough analysis of
a specific topic
Mainly of importance in
Computer Science and
Engineering-related
subject fields
Mainly of importance in
Social Sciences and the
Arts & Humanities
Different source types are added to ensure that coverage, discoverability,
profiles and impact measurement for research in all subject fields is
accounted for in Scopus.
