Reviewers’ Information Pack Supporting the Peer Review Process 4. PEER REVIEW SYSTEM 4.2. Tools to Help Covering the world’s research literature, Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality Web sources with smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research. Scopus was designed and developed with over 500 users and librarians internationally. Its unique database contains abstracts and references from over 15,000 peer-reviewed journals from 4,000 publishers worldwide, ensuring broad interdisciplinary coverage. In addition, Scopus not only offers users citation information about the articles covered, but also directly integrates Web and patent searches. Direct links to full-text articles, library resources and other applications like reference management software, make Scopus quicker, easier and more comprehensive to use than any other literature research tool. For more information about Scopus, please visit www.info.scopus.com As a Reviewer, Scopus can help you: • Investigate a new topic • Look for a particular article • Keep up-to-date with the publications of a particular writer • Request an email notification when a paper is cited • Find out what is published in a particular field of study • Create a citation overview for an author • Review an author’s work To find out how Scopus can help you as a Reviewer, please view the tutorials What can Scopus do for you as a reviewer?

Merv Fingas, head of the Emergencies Science Division at Canada’s Environmental Technology Center in Ottawa, Ontario and Editor of Journal of Hazardous Materials remarks, ‘Scopus is a great asset to my journal work.
