Hello everyone. My question is how can I use databases like scopus to know which areas of physics are the "hot" today or which are still in development.
Scopus is a database of scientific literature and research. It is designed to help researchers find relevant articles, track citations, and analyze trends in various fields. Scopus works by indexing articles from thousands of journals, allowing users to search for specific keywords, authors, or topics.
Scopus can be used to find trends in physics by searching for articles related to specific topics or keywords in the field of physics. It also allows users to track the number of citations for a particular article or author, which can indicate the impact and relevance of their research.
Yes, Scopus allows users to filter their search results by country. This means that it is possible to compare trends in physics between different countries and see how research in this field is progressing globally.
While Scopus is a comprehensive database, it is not the only source of scientific literature. Some articles may not be indexed in Scopus, which could limit the accuracy of trend analysis. Additionally, Scopus only includes articles from certain journals, so it may not capture all research in the field of physics.
Scopus is updated daily, and new articles are typically added within a few weeks of publication. This means that the data on Scopus is relatively current and can provide insights into the latest trends in physics research.
