Scopus doesn't allow me to read the full text of the article. What is going on?

Answer

Scopus is a bibliographic service which aggregate all the articles published in journals that it approves.

It is most commonly used for:

  • Finding author profiles (h-index, collaborators, institutions);
  • Determining the reliability and authority of an article;
  • Citation tracking; and
  • Identifying journal impact and influence.

It cannot provide the full-text of the article. However, it can provide some links to the journal homepage and you can possibly get access to the full-text. 

The best way is to check for access is to search for the article via Primo or through available library resources.
