Journals excluded from Scopus for February 2025
The last update of journals in the Scopus database was in early February 2025. Tonight, Scopus released a new update covering February 2025, which included only 2 titles in the official list of removed journals. However, in addition to these officially excluded journals, others were removed without public announcement. Scopus has chosen not to disclose the reasons for their removal, which leaves us to speculate about the motives behind these actions. In this post, we will tell you about all the removals, including official and unofficial removals.

Journals removed without official announcement:
These journals were excluded from the Scopus database, but were not included in the official list of removed ones. Recently, Scopus has been hiding journals that have committed serious violations and does not add them to the official list. Thanks to constant monitoring and research of scientific publications, the Academy of Articles was the first to learn about these exclusions. We continue to monitor the situation and promptly inform our readers.
