Writing scientific articles for Scopus journals
- The Scopus system was launched in 2004. Its permanent owner is Elsevier.
- The database was created as an alternative to Web of Science.
- In total, the Scopus database contains 18,000 publications, including those in technical disciplines, medical sciences, and the humanities.
- Not only scientific journals are indexed, but also published conference proceedings and serial publications.
- Scopus divides journals into quartiles. There are four quartiles in total.
The term "percentile" refers to a measure in which the percentage of total values is equal to or less than a given measure. For example, 90 percent of data values are below the 90th percentile. Or 10 percent of data values are below the 10th percentile. Quartiles are values that divide a data table into four parts. This is a general notation for these concepts. Now let's consider how it applies to the Scopus database.
1. Saving time. You provide us with all the necessary information – we will write the article in accordance with all the journal’s requirements.
2. Saving money. You can include up to 5 co-authors on your article, which will help reduce the financial burden on all authors.
