Journal selection criteria in Scopus

To be considered for review, all journal titles should meet all of these minimum criteria:
- Consist of peer-reviewed content and have a publicly available description of the peer review process.
- Be published on a regular basis and have an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) as registered with the ISSN International Centre.
- Have content that is relevant for and readable by an international audience, meaning: have references in Roman script and have English language abstracts and titles.
- Have a publicly available publication ethics and publication malpractice statement.
CSAB members have deep subject matter expertise, and are committed to actively seeking out and selecting literature that meets the needs and standards of the research community that they represent. Journals eligible for review by the CSAB will be evaluated on the following criteria in five categories:
