Scopus Journal Exclusions for July 2024
Main reasons for stopping indexing of journals in the Scopus database
Scopus is one of the most prestigious scientometric databases (DB), which includes only high-quality scientific content. An independent commission carefully monitors the quality of materials published by publications indexed in the system. Every month, scientific journals that no longer meet the quality standards of the DB are excluded from it. Termination of indexing of journals in the Scopus database can occur for various reasons. Here are the main ones:
poor quality of scientific articles: journals publishing materials of low scientific level may be excluded from the database
Violations of scientific ethics: Scopus staff regularly monitor indexed journals and their publication activities. Publications that practice plagiarism or self-plagiarism are excluded from the database immediately
low scientometric indicators: suspicious publication activity is recorded by the Radar system, which was created to identify and prevent negative trends in the publication activity of journals: a sharp decrease or increase in the number of publications, a significant decrease in the citation rate or other key indicators
Violation of Scopus policy: Journals that no longer meet Scopus's established standards and criteria, such as peer review quality, originality and contribution to science, may be excluded
abrupt change in editorial policy: publications that abruptly change their editorial policy towards less strict standards or suddenly change the subject area of the research they publish may also be excluded from the scientometric database.

The most common reason for journals to be excluded from the Scopus platform is that the Radar system identifies poor quality of published materials. Less common reasons for stopping indexing are so-called "Publication Concerns".
Why is it important to check the indexation of a scientific journal in Scopus?
Checking the indexation of a scientific journal in Scopus before submitting materials is important for several reasons:
Avoiding "predatory" journals - publishing in unscrupulous journals can damage a scientist's reputation
Increased visibility and citation impact – articles published in journals indexed in Scopus receive greater reach and visibility among the international scientific audience, which contributes to increased citation impact
compliance with regulatory requirements – the vast majority of higher education institutions require publication in journals reviewed in Scopus.
