Scopus Searching Tutorials

  • How do I search for a document?

"Scopus provides you with the option of searching for publications based on search terms relating to specific parts of a document (e.g. title, author, keywords, ISSN)."

"An advanced search allows you to enter complex search queries using field codes, boolean and proximity operators to narrow the scope of your search."

Learn about your options to interact with your search results.

This tutorial explains the detailed information available on a document page. You'll also learn how to export, download, email or print a document and how to view citing and related documents.

  • How do I search for an author?

"The author search helps you find documents written by a specific person in Scopus, even if the author is listed differently. For example, an author may be cited as Smith, J in one document, but as Smith, John in another. The Scopus Author Identifier ensures identification between the differentiation in author search results."
