Recently, the scientometric database Scopus published a list of publications that were no longer indexed based on the results of checks in March 2023. This month, 8 scientific journals were excluded based on the results of the checks. This indicates an even more thorough monitoring of the publication activities of publications indexed in Scopus.
Recall that the Scopus database focuses on monthly updating of the list of indexed journals and publishes lists of excluded publications in the middle of each month (based on the results of previous checks). This encourages even more careful selection of a scientific journal to achieve the main research goals of scientists.

Publication Concerns |
As you can see, Publication Concerns became the main reason for stopping the indexing of journals. This trend has been persisting for a long time, which once again underlines the problem of the presence of a significant number of predatory and dishonest publications in the Scopus scientometric database.
