Scopus & SciVal Overview
Scopus – is a large multi-disciplinary bibliographic database containing abstracts and citations for over 60m academic journal articles since 1996. Encompasses over 21.5k peer-reviewed journals and 130k books. Scopus offers author profiles which cover affiliations, number of publications and their bibliographic data, references, and details on the number of citations each published document has received.

SciVal is the research analytics tool for measuring metrics gathered from the Scopus dataset. Both SciVal and Scopus are Elsevier products and both offer quick, easy access to the research performance of over 8,500 research institutions and 220 nations worldwide.

SciVal provides metrics from a top-level country level to an individual researcher level spreading across all subject areas or at a more granular subject area/ to sub-category subject area.
