Before you submit, we confirm the journal is actively covered in Scopus, not discontinued or cloned, then guide your submission through peer review.

Scopus publication support at Shodhyantri puts verification at the centre. Scopus is Elsevier's abstract and citation database, and it is the most common index named in Indian PhD and faculty rules. It is also where scholars most often get caught out: journals are discontinued from coverage, hijacked websites copy real titles, and some sites display a Scopus logo they have no right to use.
We check each journal against the Scopus source records before you invest time, and again before any charges are paid. Then we help you prepare a clean submission, interpret decisions and respond to reviewers. Your study and writing remain your own. We guide, verify and review, and we never promise acceptance or indexing, because those decisions belong to journals and to Scopus.
Scopus is owned by Elsevier. Titles are selected by an independent Content Selection and Advisory Board, and covered titles are re-evaluated over time. When a title no longer meets the standard, Scopus can discontinue coverage. Content published after the discontinuation date is generally not added, while earlier content usually remains in the database.
Elsevier publishes the Scopus source list and a list of discontinued titles, and the Scopus Sources page shows coverage years. Metrics such as CiteScore come from Scopus, while SJR quartiles are calculated by SCImago from Scopus data. A journal homepage claim is never enough. Coverage must be confirmed in Scopus's own records.
We check that coverage is current, not ended, using Scopus source records and Elsevier's published lists, and we record the date of checking.
We look at the discontinued list and recent coverage years, so you avoid a journal whose new issues no longer enter Scopus.
We match the journal's URL, publisher and ISSN with the Scopus record to detect hijacked websites that mimic real journals.
We explain CiteScore and SJR quartiles separately so you report the right figure and source to your university.
Your files, statements and metadata are prepared to the journal's checklist so the paper reaches review without delays.
We say upfront that no one can guarantee Scopus publication, and we decline any request that would compromise research integrity.
Ten stages, each with a clear output. Nothing moves to the next stage until you have reviewed the last one.
— You review every stage first, then decide —
Journal title and ISSN match an active Scopus source record with current coverage years.
The title is absent from the discontinued list and shows recent indexed issues.
The submission website matches the publisher and links listed in Scopus records.
Recent articles show the journal publishes studies of similar scope and method.
Any fee is confirmed on the official site and paid only through verified channels.
Your published article is visible in Scopus and linked to your author profile.
Every stage is shared with notes explaining what was changed and why. You and your supervisor check it, and the next stage starts only after your go-ahead.
| Common problem | How Shodhyantri helps |
|---|---|
| Relying on an old Scopus journal list downloaded months or years ago. | Check the current Scopus Sources record before submitting. Coverage changes, and an old spreadsheet can include discontinued titles. |
| Submitting through a website found by search engine rather than through the Scopus-linked publisher. | Follow the publisher link from the Scopus record or the publisher's main site. Hijacked sites often rank well in search results. |
| Paying a fee because an email promised quick Scopus publication in a named journal. | Ignore unsolicited offers. Verify the journal yourself and pay only on the publisher's official, verified payment page. |
| Confusing CiteScore quartiles with SJR quartiles when reporting to a committee. | State the metric and source each time, for example SJR Q2 from SCImago, so committees can check it easily. |
| Choosing a journal whose latest indexed issue in Scopus is several years old. | Look at recent coverage. A gap can signal discontinuation or delay, so pick a title with current indexed issues. |
| Assuming the paper is Scopus indexed the day it appears on the journal website. | Article records take time to appear. Search Scopus for your article later and save evidence once it is visible. |
Search the journal title on the Scopus Sources page first, then follow its publisher link. This avoids most clone websites.
Elsevier publishes discontinued titles. Search it for your journal name and ISSN before preparing any files.
Journals often have print and electronic ISSNs. Both should match the Scopus record, not only one.
A journal claiming to publish every subject from medicine to management is a warning sign, even if it shows a Scopus logo.
Scopus creates author profiles automatically. Check yours after publication and request corrections through Elsevier's feedback route.
CiteScore and SJR are released yearly. Quote the year with the quartile to avoid confusion.
Save the Scopus source page on the day you submit. It protects you if coverage changes later.
Many universities have Scopus access through the library or INFLIBNET resources, which gives fuller search features.
Your work is handled by people who read your field's literature, not by a single generalist.
A PhD-qualified specialist from your field who checks the research logic, gap and contribution.
Handles statistics, models and qualitative coding, and documents every analytical decision.
Improves structure, flow, clarity and academic tone without changing your meaning.
Builds and validates MATLAB, Python, ANSYS or COMSOL work where your study needs it.
Checks grammar, consistency, numbering, citations and the small errors examiners notice.
Applies your university or journal template, reference style and front matter exactly.
Search the title on the Scopus Sources page and check that coverage years run to the present. Then search Elsevier's discontinued titles list. Finally, confirm the journal website through the publisher link on the Scopus record. We do all three checks for every journal we suggest.
Articles published before the discontinuation date generally stay in Scopus. Articles published after it are usually not added. Institutions may judge by the publication date, but rules vary. This is why we check coverage before submission and recommend saving a dated record.
No. Editors and peer reviewers decide acceptance, and Scopus decides coverage. No honest service can guarantee either. Offers of guaranteed Scopus publication are common in India and are a strong sign of a scam or a predatory journal.
Compare the website you found with the publisher link and ISSN on the Scopus record. Hijacked sites often use a new domain, a very quick review promise and a broad scope. If the details do not match exactly, do not submit or pay.
No. Your research and writing remain yours. We verify journals, guide selection, review submission readiness and support your reviewer responses. Language editing and formatting are available separately and keep your content intact. You stay the author at every stage.
It depends on your rule. Some proceedings series are covered by Scopus, but many universities accept only journal articles. Check the wording, and verify that the specific proceedings volume is actually indexed before registering. We help you check both.
CiteScore is Elsevier's citation metric calculated from Scopus data. SJR is a prestige-weighted metric calculated by SCImago from Scopus data, with quartiles shown on its website. Quartiles can differ between the two, so always state which one you are quoting.
We provide research guidance, statistical analysis, editing, formatting and training support. All research content remains the scholar's own work, in line with UGC and university academic integrity norms. We do not guarantee publication, acceptance, indexing or academic outcomes: journals decide through peer review and universities award degrees.
Share your topic, draft or data. We will tell you honestly what it needs, and what it does not, before you pay anything.
