Scopus content is reviewed and ultimately selected by an independent Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB), an international group of scientists and researchers with journal editor experience and who represent the major scientific disciplines indexed on Scopus.
Scopus is owned by Elsevier B.V. and Elsevier is solely responsible for the content selection policy of Scopus.
Year-round, the CSAB members are responsible for reviewing all new titles that are suggested for indexing on Scopus. They also review and ensure that the quality of existing content is maintained.

Titles on Scopus
Content types included on Scopus are either serial publications that have an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), such as journals, book series and conference series, or non-serial publications that have an ISBN (International Standard Book Number), such as monographs or one-off conference materials. To check if a title is on Scopus, visit the freely available Source Title page
or consult the title lists below.

Stringent selection standards
Every year, thousands of new titles are suggested for inclusion in Scopus, but only 33% of those titles meet the rigorous technical criteria. And of those roughly 1,200 titles, only 50% are accepted after review by our independent Content Selection Advisory Board.
Our selection process and policy
We are proud of our transparent selection process and independent review board. The international experts on our CSAB continually review new title requests using both quantitative and qualitative measures. Only serial titles may be suggested to the CSAB for inclusion on Scopus, including journals, book series and conference series.
