Exclusion of Scopus journals (February 2023)

Typically, Scopus journals are updated in the middle of each month. This time, experts from the scientometric database offered a list of publications that were no longer indexed, a little later. Based on the results of the checks in February 2023, 4 scientific publications were excluded from the database. This is a relatively large number, given the monthly rate of exceptions.

As you can see, the main reason for the exclusion of Scopus journals remains unchanged – Publication Concerns – violation of publication ethics by publications, which once again emphasizes the importance of the correct selection of a journal for publication.
