Please read carefully before completing this form

  • Please check the Scopus title list to determine whether the title you wish to suggest is already in Scopus. Please be aware that active Medline-sourced titles (see column M in the title list) may also be suggested for full Scopus coverage.
  • New titles are reviewed on a continuous basis by the independent Scopus Content Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB).
  • We strive to evaluate new title suggestions as quickly as possible, however, please allow for several months up to one year for the review process to be completed.
  • The CSAB uses sample documents of published content to evaluate the quality of a title. We recommend that a title has published for at least two years before it is suggested for inclusion in Scopus and we may reject a title suggestion for review if the publication history is too short to review the title. 
  • If you are suggesting a title as a Publisher or Editor, you will be asked to provide sample PDFs as a final step in the title suggestion process. It is not possible to complete the title suggestion process without uploading PDFs.
  • Be aware that the evaluation of a title is not influenced by the number of times it is suggested. Multiple submissions of the same title will only delay the review process.
  • Review of your title suggestion does not guarantee selection of the title. 
If you have any questions about the evaluation process, you can contact us at titlesuggestion@scopus.com.

Agreement

 I am aware of the general guidelines that Scopus uses to select titles.
Scopus only allows titles to be evaluated when they meet the following minimum criteria:

- English-language abstracts;
- Peer reviewed content;
- A regular publication schedule and a registered print- and/or electronic ISSN that has been   registered with the International ISSN Centre. To register an ISSN, please visit this page;
- References in Roman script;
- A publication ethics and publication malpractice statement on its website.

Scopus may not review a title if it does not meet all of these criteria.

* = mandatory field. Input is required.
