Scopus

Following on the Scopus trial which ended in December 2007, TCD Library now has a subscription to Scopus (Elsevier).

Scopus is an abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and web sources covering more than 15,000 peer-reviewed journals in science, technology, medicine and social sciences.

Coverage 1966-
Cited reference searching 1996 -
Subject Coverage: - by number of source titles that are used [Scopus Info web site]:
Life Sciences >3,400 titles
Health Sciences > 5,300 titles (including 100% coverage of Medline titles)
Physical Sciences > 5,500 titles
Social Sciences > 2,850 titles

Scopus offers citation searching - as ISI's Web of Science has been doing -
therefore researchers can demonstrate the impact of their own publications by identifying citations to their work in the titles indexed in Scopus.
