Do you need help to start with a research topic or literature review?

This session introduces Scopus as a tool for PhD students and researchers who need access to the latest relevant research. It is aimed at beginners and intermediate users.

Developed by Elsevier, Scopus is one of the world’s largest curated abstract and citation databases of peer-reviewed literature, including 25.300+ scientific journals, 231.000+ books and conference proceedings from >5.000 publishers, covering research topics across all scientific and technical disciplines, ranging from medicine and social sciences to arts and humanities.
