A new look and feel for Citation overview pages
Continuing with the new look and feel that has been applied to Scopus throught the past year, you will now notice an updated look for the Citation Overview tool. For the most part functionality remains the same with the exception of the following three changes:
- The maximum year range displayed is now 15 year rather than 16
- You can now remove multiple items from the table at one time
- Both the line graph and table are fully accessibility compliant
The Citation overview is an interactive table that allows you to analyze and compare citations by years for multiple documents. You can access this tool by clicking on the “View citation overview” option on the following 3 pages:
- Document results
- Author details
- Source details
