Scopus is similar to Web of Science. It is a search engine for articles in all scientific fields. It is also a citation index, allowing you to see how often and by whom an article has been cited. One difference with Web of Science is that in Scopus you find more books and book chapters. This is an advantage in fields of science where book publications are important. Book reviews, on the other hand, cannot be found in Scopus but can be found in Web of Science.
You can access Scopus through LibSearch. The database is accessible to students and employees of the Vrije Universiteit. You may be asked to log in with your VUnetID.
In Scopus you will find the bibliographic data of an article, such as its title, journal name, abstract, keywords, etc. To access the full text, click on a link below the search result: 'Locate full-text via VU LibSearch' of 'View at Publisher'. Another option is to copy and paste the title of the article into Google Scholar's search bar.
