Scopus

This guide provides information about using Scopus to find articles and citations.

Use Scopus when you would like to see results similar to an article you've already found
Scopus is great for identifying a specific author's scholarly output
Scopus can return results ranked by number of times cited, as well as ranked by relevance or date
Scopus often contains live links to the reference's full text
Scopus is also good for "forward searching" as it shows who has cited an article (with live links to those citations as well!)
