A campus-wide trial of Scopus is available: 01 February 2022 – 02 March 2022
Dear Colleagues,
The University Libraries is exploring the possibility of replacing Web of Science with Scopus.
A comparison of the functionalities and additional comparison information is available at the University Libraries website.
Both Scopus and Web of Science are abstract and citation databases of peer-reviewed literature and web sources with tools to track, analyze, and visualize research impact.
Scopus is being considered due to the ease of use and enhanced services available, including more robust coverage of recent and global publications. Scopus includes CiteScore as a comparable metric tool to Web of Science’s Journal Citation Reports [JCR]. In addition, Scopus would enhance the functionality of ScienceDirect, one of Clarkson’s most heavily used databases.
Scopus representatives will be available to answer questions in an open forum:
Fri Feb 4 from 12pm-2pm add to your Google Calendar
Tues Feb 8 from 4pm-6pm add to your Google Calendar
Thurs Feb 10 from 9am-11am add to your Google Calendar
We truly value your feedback on this process please tell us your preference using this online form.
As always, the University Libraries take our stewardship of library resources very seriously.
You may send any other questions and comments to askalibrarian@clarkson.edu.
Sincerely,
The Clarkson University Librarians
