A Guide for Young Scholars: Finding the Right Scopus-Indexed Journals
For young scholars aiming to publish high-quality research, finding the right Scopus-indexed journals can be a challenging task. Scholars often have various requirements, such as finding free or paid journals, journals in specific research areas, or those with a high citation impact. While Scopus provides detailed information on each journal’s page, it requires knowing the journal name in advance, which can make the process difficult for early-career researchers. Many experts, including authors and professors, do not openly share this information, making it even more difficult to navigate.
To help scholars overcome these challenges, ABCD Index offers a comprehensive list of Scopus-indexed journals, categorized for easier access.
Categories of Scopus-Indexed Journals Available on ABCD Index:
How to Find Journals by Research Area or Country
To locate journals within a specific field, scholars can use website filters by typing in relevant keywords related to their research. For example, searching for terms such as "artificial intelligence," "nanotechnology," or "environmental science" will display a list of relevant Scopus-indexed journals.
For country-specific searches, scholars can enter the name of a country, such as Germany, China, USA, or India, to find Scopus-indexed journals published in or associated with that country.
Accessing Detailed Journal Information
Once you have a list of journals, you can click on any journal to access more detailed information, such as:
- EISSN/PISSN numbers
- Publisher details, including the address and contact information
- Other indexing details, such as UGC-CARE, Web of Science, and NAAS
- Submission guidelines and publication fees
- Journal reviews from other researchers and scholars
If additional information is needed, the ABCD Index platform provides a query form and comment section where scholars can ask questions and receive answers from experts.
Downloading Journal Lists
Some scholars prefer to download a list of journals in PDF or Excel format directly from Scopus. However, these lists often become outdated over time and lack crucial information, such as journal website URLs, submission processes, publication costs, and additional indexing details. To address this issue, the ABCD Index provides up-to-date, comprehensive data on journals, free of charge and without the need for prior registration.
