The simple answer is that publishing in Scopus is relatively difficult compared to other journals. This is because Scopus uses extensive peer review and quality criteria to assess research papers.Journals are removed from the Scopus database for a variety of reasons, including: Unfair publication activity. Detected fraud. Violation of standards of academic integrity and scientific ethics.High activity of a journal in publishing articles after it has been indexed in Scopus may arouse suspicion and indicate its bad faith. This is due to the fact that significant payment is required to publish in Scopus. Some publications may use indexing as a way to increase revenue by increasing the number of issues and articles.

Therefore, it is recommended that authors analyse the publication activity of a journal before and after its indexing in Scopus. This will help to avoid mistakes and unsuccessful publications.

Thank you very much for the valuable reply Mr. Abu- Hussein

To get journal suggestions for a Scopus publication, first, use the Scopus website (Scopus.com) to search for journals in your specific subject area and apply filters for readership, authorship, and coverage metrics to find suitable options. You should also ensure the journal has a strong publication record and is not a "predatory journal" by looking for a publicly available publication ethics statement and an established history of publishing peer-reviewed content. Finally, it is recommended to research the journal's activity and ensure it adheres to high standards of academic integrity before submitting your manuscript.

1. Search on the Scopus Website

• Go to Scopus.com and look for the "View Journal Rankings" link.
• Use the search box to filter journals by your specific "Subject Area".
• Consider applying other filters such as readership, authorship, and coverage to find journals that align with your research.

2. Evaluate Journal Quality

• Verify Peer-Review:Check that the journal consists of peer-reviewed content and provides a public description of its peer-review process.
• Check for Ethics Statements:Ensure the journal has a clear and publicly available statement on publication ethics and malpractice.
• Look for an ISSN:The journal must have a registered International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) from the ISSN International Centre.
• Review Publication History:Look for a journal with a publication history of at least two years, indicating it has an established track record of regular publication.

3. Avoid Predatory Journals

• Research the Journal's History:Analyze the journal's publication activity and ensure it has not changed dramatically after being indexed in Scopus.
• Look for Transparency:Be wary of journals that do not provide clear information on their publication ethics or methodology.
• Confirm Relevance:Ensure the content is relevant and readable to an international audience, with English titles and abstracts.

4. Consider Other Sources

• ResearchGate:You can find discussions and suggestions for Scopus-indexed journals by searching on ResearchGate.
• Academic Publishers and Societies:Many scientific societies and publishers provide resources and guidance for editors and researchers on their websites.
