Scopus content policy and selection changes

Scopus ensures high-quality, up-to-date interdisciplinary content by adhering to a selection policy reviewed by an expert advisory board. The platform includes research from over 7,000 publishers globally, which is widely cited. Recent policy updates include removing the “2-year” condition for newly launched journals, encouraging journals to integrate Generative AI policies, and enhancing scrutiny for journal changes. These updates aim to improve transparency and maintain content quality. Scopus evaluates journals with input from the Content Selection & Advisory Board, but retains the right to revise selection decisions.
