Scopus was created by Elsevier =====<br /> * Scopus is a large abstract and citation database launched by Elsevier in 2004.<br /> * Elsevier did not declare it the global standard; they simply built the platform.<br /> <br /> ===== 2. Universities and research bodies adopted it =====<br /> <br /> Over time, many institutions worldwide chose Scopus for:<br /> * Research evaluation<br /> * Promotion and tenure decisions<br /> * Tracking citations<br /> * Rating journals and researchers<br /> <br /> Because these institutions used Scopus-based metrics, it gradually became a benchmark.<br /> <br /> ===== 3. Governments and accreditation agencies reinforced its importance =====<br /> <br /> In several countries, national research funding agencies, ranking bodies, or ministry guidelines specify:<br /> * “Publish in Scopus-indexed journals,” or<br /> * Use Scopus metrics (h-index, citations).<br /> <br /> This made Scopus an unofficial global standard.<br /> <br /> ===== 4. Journal indexing became a quality signal =====<br /> <br /> Researchers began viewing “Scopus-indexed” as:<br /> * Proof of peer-review<br /> * Journal legitimacy<br /> * Wider visibility<br /> <br /> This further cemented Scopus as a yardstick.<br /> <br /> ===== In short: =====<br /> <br /> No one person made Scopus the standard.<br /> Its authority comes from global institutional adoption, not a formal decision.<br /> <br /> If you want, I can explain why some people criticize Scopus or compare it with Web of Science, Google Scholar, or DOAJ.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:ChatGPT Shares]]<br /> [[Category:openai]]</div>
