If you use Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) to access scopus.com and are receiving a “browser not supported page,” you will need to disable the “Compatibility View” setting for scopus.com. To do this, follow the steps below (click on the images to enlarge).

Step 1: In IE11 click the “Tools” tab or the tools icon and select “Compatibility View settings” from the menu.

Step 2: A pop-up will appear with scopus.com listed as one of the websites added to the ‘Compatibility Views’ box. Select scopus.com from the list and click on ‘Remove.’ Once this is completed, the browser should automatically reload scopus.com. If it does not and you are still experiencing issues, please continue to Step 3 below.

Step 3: If your institution has set up scopus.com as an intranet website, you will need to disable the “display intranet sites in Compatibility View.” To do this, uncheck the box as displayed in the image below.

If this still does not correct the issue, please contact your local Scopus

Recently, Library Connect worked with librarian Jenny Delasalle to create a set of quick reference cards on research impact metrics. Both a poster (11x17) sized version, which includes all the metrics on one page, and a larger format featuring 4 metrics cards per page, are available for download.  Each card provides a quick summary of the metric — including how it’s calculated, what it measures and whether it applies to journals, authors or documents — and serves as a good jumping off point for further discussions around metrics. To add a bit more context regarding their specific relationship to Scopus, we will be looking at individual cards and providing the Scopus connection, starting with SCImago Journal Rank (SJR). 

As stated in the card, SJR weights citations based on the source they come from.The subject field, quality and reputation of the journal have a direct effect on the value of a citation. SJR also normalizes for differences in citation behavior between subject fields.
