Frequently asked questions
Why does Scopus discontinue journals?
Scopus continuously re-evaluates indexed titles. Journals flagged for publication concerns, under-performance against benchmarks, or outlier publishing behaviour can be discontinued. Some titles stop being covered under the journal change policy (for example after a change of title, publisher or scope).
My paper was published in a discontinued journal — is it still in Scopus?
Yes, if it was published in or before the final covered volume/issue shown above. Content published after that point is not added to Scopus.
How often is this list updated?
Elsevier updates the Scopus Source List regularly, and we refresh this page with each new release. Current data: August 2026.
