SCOPUS Citation Patterns
SCOPUS Citation Patterns refer to trends in how academic works are cited over time and across different disciplines. Understanding citation patterns helps researchers identify emerging topics, track influential papers, and analyze interdisciplinary connections. SCOPUS provides detailed citation pattern reports that highlight peak citation periods, self-citation rates, and collaborative influences. Identifying citation patterns allows institutions and funding bodies to assess research impact, guide publication strategies, and recognize the most influential contributors in a given field.
