Scopus Online Sessions
In April and May 2008 the TrainingDesk features two sessions that focus on Scopus.
In April, we introduced a basic overview of Scopus and in May we are featuring the new Affiliation Identifier launching on Scopus.
The Scopus Affiliation Identifier allows you to find all the documents belonging to a specific organization quickly and easily. This used to be a notoriously difficult and time consuming task because an institution’s name is often spelled or recorded differently by individual sources; it may change its name, or have a name very similar to another institution. The Scopus Affiliation Identifier automatically identifies and groups an organization with all its research output.
