Scopus
Scopus is a large citation and abstract database covering peer-reviewed literature across disciplines, used to check whether a journal is genuinely indexed and to calculate citation metrics like CiteScore.
In context
You'll usually need this when verifying that a journal is actually indexed where it claims to be.
Why it matters
It's one of the two major citation databases used to verify whether a journal is genuinely indexed, and the source behind CiteScore.
