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.
