- 5. Over the year Scopus became
famous for its quality and
standard Indexed Journals.
Indexation of a journal is
considered a reflection of its
quality.

considered to be of higher
scientific quality as compared
to other popular indexation
services like, PubMed, EMBASE,
EBSCO, MedLine, SCIRUS etc.

- 6. NSU subscribes for Scopus and its
service to allow us to monitor the
progress of the visibility only if an
article/proceeding is in a Scopus
indexed journal/proceeding.
While we do not question the
quality of other indexing services,
we will have to work with Scopus
for our long-term goal of
attaining international ranking.
At a later point, we may also
recognize the value in publishing
in journals indexed by other
reputed services.

- 7. Publishing in a Scopus indexed
journal is an indication and
recognition of the high quality of
your work.
It also increases the likelihood of
getting cited and hence your
citation score will go up.
That improves the visibility of the
university.
Scopus follows very strict
guidelines in terms of quality of
journals and proceedings.
Publishing in a non-indexed
journal may not give you the
recognition you deserve.
