Every year, Scopus provides Journal Citation Report for its indexed journals. The Scopus JCR helps researchers to track the performance of research journals over time.
About Scopus: Scopus is Elsevier’s abstract and citation database. It covers nearly 36,377 titles from approximately 11,678 publishers, of which 34,346 are peer-reviewed journals in top-level subject fields: life sciences, social sciences, physical sciences, and health sciences.
We will be listing the top 50 Journals based on the Scopus Citations. Moreover, We will describe how to access the list of Scopus journals with their citations.
