Do you love the breadth of Google Scholar but find that it sometimes lacks the sophisticated tools that you need in a research database? If so, Scopus will likely provide the answer you are looking for. Scopus is Gumberg Library’s most comprehensive, full-featured literature searching resource. Subjects covered include:
Life & Health Sciences
Physical Sciences
Social Sciences & Humanities
U.S. & International Patents
In addition to standard literature searching tools, Scopus enables you to do citation searching, determine author impact, and compare journals using quantitative metrics. Because Scopus draws from such a large number of scholarly and scientific disciplines, it enables you to find articles that you might not find when searching several other databases. The best news is that Scopus is easy to use, and you should be able to begin doing sophisticated searches in a short period of time.
