How to obtain citation analysis of academic publications through Scopus?
Citation analysis of academic publications via Scopus requires utilizing its built-in tools for tracking citations to authors, documents, or affiliations. This process is feasible and core to the platform's analytical capabilities.
Access Scopus through an institutional subscription. Locate a specific author profile using unique identifiers like Scopus Author ID, or find specific publications using document search. Within an author profile or document record, dedicated sections display citation metrics such as the total citation count, h-index, cited-by publications list, and citation trends over time. Filters can be applied to analyze citations within specific date ranges or subject areas.
This analysis supports numerous applications: researchers assess their work's impact; institutions evaluate research performance; scholars identify influential papers; and individuals track the dissemination of their specific articles. The metrics aid in understanding scholarly influence within a discipline.
