Important Scopus update
Previously, when Scopus removed a journal by completely de-indexing its articles for violating its requirements, it would be included in the official list. Now, such journals are no longer included in the official list. Scopus removes articles from recent years when there were serious violations, and simply marks such a journal as indexed until a certain year.

Conclusion:
At the Academy of Articles, we urge all scientists, authors, and researchers to be careful when choosing journals for their publications. It's important to thoroughly check the reputation of a publication and its status in scientific databases. Given recent changes to Scopus's policy, which could lead to the de-indexing of journals and their articles, we recommend avoiding the risks associated with low-quality publications. Pay attention to the journal's editorial standards, peer-review processes, and indexing period. We are always ready to assist you in choosing reliable publication platforms to ensure your research maintains high visibility and citation rates.
