Being an average Indian and a good academician,
I have come across this a lot, "Scopus Indexed Journal"
I hear you say "Of course I too". My question is....
If all the Journals that are indexed in Scopus are not really worth enough to be called as a reputed journal (at least in average scale), then why Scopus is accepting and approving all those journals to get indexed in their data base????
Who is to be blamed?
Option (a) The academicians who publish their works in ill worth journals
Option (b) The ELSVIER system who approves those ill worth journals to get indexed in Scopus
Option (c) The system which urges the academics to publish in Scopus indexed journals but not considering the publication in ill worth Scopus journals (In Indian terms, 'Paid Journals')
I expect our fellow community to discuss about the reality behind Scopus Indexed journals, Measuring academics with Scopus,.
I am agree with the worth of SCOPUS Indexing as far as quality and the standard is considered.
I think, Scopus is classified amongst the most high quality indexing.
Saravanan J. , Scopus indexed journals tend to have proper peer review system unlike predatory journals which don't have any, a good proportion of Scopus indexed journals is open access (APC required) but this doesn't indicate ill publishing.
