...called Scopus, has been added to the A-Z of databases
subscribed to by UEL library.
Scopus replaces our previous subscription to Web of Knowledge, and includes the
vast majority of content held within Web of Knowledge plus considerably more.
In fact, according to the marketing blurb, it is ‘the largest abstract and
citation database of peer-reviewed literature’ and ‘delivers the most
comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science,
technology, medicine, social sciences and arts & humanities’.
As far as the
raw facts are concerned, it currently holds citations for over 50 million
peer-reviewed articles from over 21,000 different journals. They have also just
embarked on a major project to include book citations down to chapter level. As
well as being a great way to find research, another key feature is
its ability to analyse results e.g. showing you the main journals for that
topic, or the publication history of authors. It is very simple to use, so why not take a look and see what you think.
