Yesterday evening, June 4, 2025, Scopus published an update to its database. The Academy of Articles team promptly prepared this material for you to alert you to the changes and help you avoid unnecessary time and expense.
As part of the update, five journals were officially excluded: four for violations recorded by the Radar system, and one due to questionable editorial quality.
Additionally, three more journals, along with all their published articles, were completely removed without separate notice. All of them had previously appeared in our column as candidates for deletion.
We've compiled a complete list of all 8 journals, complete with summary information, reasons for exclusion, and links to their Scopus profiles, so you can quickly check the status of each title.
