Full text links not showing up in Scopus

Hi all,

Scopus is a citation index from Elsevier used in the sciences and social sciences during article searches, citation analysis, and other scholarly comm research.

Normally, results in Scopus have a full text link that leads to our link resolver, which searches all of our subscriptions and provides a link to view full text.

Currently Scopus results don't have any links to UNCG full text subscriptions:




Here's the workaround: follow steps you normally would to find out whether the libraries have a specific article.

a. Paste the article title into WorldCat Discovery (red search box on library home page)
or
b. search the journal title in the Journal A to Z list. 

Screenshots on this guide show that process.

Thanks,
Lea

Moving from Web of Science to Scopus


Quick fyi for interns and other ref deskers who haven't seen the emails flying around to liaison librarians, faculty library reps, and dept heads outside the library...

We're moving from Web of Science (subscription expires June 30th) to  Scopus (should have access in a week).

Scopus indexes twice as many titles as Web of Science, and includes over 99% of the titles that are indexed by the Web of Science.

Journal Citation Reports will expire with Web of Science, but many faculty currently use Google Scholar and Eigenfactor for citation analysis.

We plan to create a research guide for assistance with these sources.  We also plan to create a guide to Scopus and will offer training as needed.  If you have questions or concerns, please contact your liaison librarian


Best,
Lea
