About Scopus

Scopus is an abstract and citation database of scholarly literature covering a wide range of disciplines. It does not provide full text; instead, it is a tool for discovering, filtering, and tracing connections between publications.

Scopus is a useful starting point for your search before retrieving full-text articles from other subscribed databases.
