Publication ethics may be best with 'UK' publishers. Best publishers accepted by academicians, Nature Elsevier, Sage etc. have native base (UK) and absolute 'Global' in publications.

Scopus indexing covers nearly 22,000 journals, of which 20,000 are peer-reviewed. The Scopus belonging to Elsevier leads the Journal world, so their tagging is considered better as compared to others. However, it stands next to Science Citation Index (SCI) which is the highly reputed indexing for the research publications.
I agree with Dr. YOGESH CHANDRA TRIPATHI
Increased visibility. Many university libraries are subscribed to Scopus.
In addition to more than 22,800 journals, Scopus covers 150,000 books, 70,000 institutional profiles and more than 16 million author profiles. In my view, there isn't just one measure of quality scholarship.
Tahir Iqbal , Very good. How to find study related Journal from Scopus indexed journals? Amir W. Al-Khafaji , YOGESH CHANDRA TRIPATHI .
Dear Craig,
That's because of scientometric indicators, and the most important scientometric indicator is number of citations of published paper(s) and every other scientometric indicator, such as Hirsch index or h-index is based on the number of citations. That's why.
Can Scopus Deliver A Better Journal Impact Metric?
Scopus, just like Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science, classifies papers by document type. While many document types are identical to the Web of Science, Scopus uses a much broader definition for “Article”, which they define as “original research or opinion,” and may be as short as a one page in length. Scopus also defines a document type called “Note”, which covers discussion and commentary, and another called “Short Survey”, which covers “short or mini-review of original research,” and are usually shorter and contain fewer references than “Reviews”. There is also an “Article-in-Press” document type that is temporary and replaced when the paper is officially published.

I'm also curious whether articles published in SCOPUS indexed journal are considered for promotion purpose in other universities.
Depending of Regulations of Universities and this is connected with money. For instance, some universities request for election process of the candidates their citation data in secondary referent scientific database of ISI Web of Science, and some of them are satisfied with SCOPUS. Namely, some universities are subscribers of both scientific database platforms, i.e. ISI Web of Science and SCOPUS, but some of them are subscribers of only one, whether it is Web of Science or SCOPUS. In general, most of universities of life sciences prefer Web of Science and most of humanistic universities prefer SCOPUS, primarily because of broader number of indexed journals. However, we have to be aware that subscription for access into these scientific referent databases are not cheap, thus some poorer universities cannot afford the subscription for full access into both databases, and most of them choose only SCOPUS, because of broader number of indexed journals.
When a person publishes an article in a journal that is included in the citation base, he thereby exposes his work for the consideration of the scientific community (from reviewers and editors, to readers). Of course, he can publish it in the "Scientific Bulletin of Rottenborough) ", but who will read these? Such a publication gives only a feeling of “output” for author, without any expert response, so the authorities and colleagues are quite rightly skeptical of such publications. Sometimes authors are enforced to publish journals without a sufficient audience (first of all, humanities and specialists working at the intersection of sciences), since they do not have other worthy variants. Here, in my opinion, the only solution is to look for like-minded people and create the magazine themself, but this is very difficult, since it takes all the time, money and forces to “cut off” those who want to be published, without any other reasons.
