Looking for Articles in Press? Use SCOPUS
Posted August 29th, 2008 by Cathy · No Comments
SCOPUS recently announced that it has added Articles in Press (AiP), abstracts of accepted research papers published prior to being printed, from journals published by Karger and Nature Publishing Group. This adds to the collection of AiPs currently in SCOPUS from Elsevier and Springer journals. In the fall, AiPs from BioMed Central and IEEE will also be available.
From the SCOPUS announcement:”Scopus AiP abstracts are citable and precede the final published, printed version by up-to-four months, significantly accelerating the knowledge discovery process for researchers. Researchers will gain access to the full-text by linking from Scopus to the publishers’ digital library. This early access provides greater connectivity to the current state of research in a range of fields, as well as a more timely method for evaluating the output of authors and institutions. Since AiPs are posted online either as an accepted manuscript or online publication (according to each publisher’s release policy), they may still be subject to changes and/or corrections by the author or publisher. Scopus clearly labels AiPs as such so researchers are aware that an updated abstract will be made available once the papers are in print.”
