Firstly, we will do a very quick search so that you get an idea of how to search on and navigate your way around Scopus. It should open so that the search box is in the Documents Search tab.
Type diabetes in the ‘search documents’ box.
Click on the Search button or press Enter.
The results of your search will now be displayed on a new page. If you want to see the abstracts on this page click on Show all abstracts at the top of your results.
Results are listed in groups of 10 but this can be adjusted at the bottom of the page.
Click on the title in order to see more details about the article including full reference, abstract and indexed keywords.
Click on the names of any of the authors to see recent documents they’ve published and the opportunity to view their full profile.
Scopus automatically shows the title for each result. Under that you also get the options to:
View abstract – see the ‘blurb’ about the article. Alternatively you can click on ‘Show all abstracts’ at the top of the results
Find@Imperial – links to the full article via Imperial College London
View at Publisher – links to the article at the publisher’s site.
Related documents – links to documents in Scopus that share the same references, keywords, or authors as the current document.
The best way to view the full article is to click on the Find@Imperial link. This will take you through to the Imperial College London Library Search. If we do not subscribe to the appropriate journal there will be a link to order the article through the Document Delivery Service.
To see which articles have cited a work, click on the number at the far right of the row. If that number is 0 and not a hyperlink then that article has not yet been cited by another. If the article has been cited a number of times then that’s a good way of finding other related results.
