Indexing publications in Scopus is important for researchers and institutions to gain greater visibility and credibility for their work. In this article, we will discuss the steps needed to add your publication to Scopus.
How do I add my publication to Scopus?
If your publication is not indexed in the Scopus database, you should first check whether your publication meets Scopus requirements for publication acceptance. To add your publication to the Scopus database, several steps need to be taken:
- Make sure the publication is published in a journal already indexed in Scopus. You can check this on the Scopus website by searching for the journal title.
- Contact the publisher of the journal in which you published your publication. Ask them to send information about your publication to Scopus.
- After receiving the information from the publisher, fill out the registration form on the Scopus website.
- Scopus will conduct a review, and if everything is in order, your publication will be added to the database.
It is important to note that the process of adding a publication to Scopus can take several weeks or even months, depending on the publisher and the number of publications in the verification queue.
Can I add a publication to Scopus myself?
No, you cannot add a publication to the Scopus database independently. Scopus is managed by the company Elsevier, which determines which publications will be added to the database. The process is based on the review and evaluation of publications by experts in the field. If your publication is included in the Scopus database, it will appear there automatically.
How to search in Scopus?
To search for publications in the Scopus database, follow these steps:
- Go to the Scopus website.
- Go to the "Search Publications" tab.
- Select the appropriate category.
- Find publications that match your search criteria.
- Use sorting and filtering options to select publications for reading.
- You can also use the "Advanced Search" option for more precise search criteria definition.
Please note that access to full-text publications in Scopus may be paid or provided through an academic library.
Who determines the scientific publication rating in Poland?
In Poland, the rating of scientific publications is determined by several different institutions and organizations. Here are some of them:
- Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW): MNiSW annually publishes a list of scientific units and scientific publication ratings, which are taken into account when awarding grants and funding.
- National Science Center (NCN): NCN publishes ratings of scientific publications and scientific units considered for grants and funding.
- Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN): The Polish Academy of Sciences publishes its own scientific publication rating, which is considered when awarding scientific prizes and awards.
- List of scientific journals: The Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW) has also published a list of scientific journals recognized as scientific and considered in the calculation of points when determining the rating of scientific publications.
In Poland, the rating of scientific publications is crucial for a scientific career and research funding, so it is essential to publish in high-impact factor journals with a good reputation in the field.
