Scopus is an
excellent tool for researchers. According to Elsevier:
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of
peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books and conference
proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output
in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and
humanities, Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize
research.
