Share View in a browser Scopus Newsletter: March 2017 CiteScore Improvements: More Transparency, More Clarity For metrics to be understood and trusted, clarity into how they work and are calculated is important. In the initial introduction of CiteScore we shared the methodology behind the calculation, today we take transparency a step further by sharing the underlying data. What does this mean? All Scopus subscribers are now able to view the source documents and citations for the CiteScore value. Let’s look at the title Mathematical Programming Computation, published by Springer Nature as an example. With a CiteScore 2015 value of 4.68, this title is ranked #5 out of 118 titles in its field, placing it in the 96th percentile. To determine exactly how the 4.68 CiteScore value was derived, go to the Source details page on Scopus, find the calculation and click on both the numerator and the denominator. This displays the full list of data used in the calculation — meaning no hidden processes, secret algorithms or other forms of potential distortion.   Try it for yourself   Learn more about CiteScore metrics   Scopus Tip & Trick Get to the right information faster with Scopus search results page improvements You may have noticed changes recently made to the Scopus document search result page, including the ability to create unique names when you save a search, making it easier to identify and organize your saved searches.
