Document search results
The document search results page in Scopus allows you to review and further refine the results of your search.
- Start by reviewing the total number of documents found [1]
- Search within your results page by entering additional keywords in the Refine search [2] box
- Add Filters [3] to focus in on specific types of documents. The number next to each filter option indicates how many documents from your search fall into that category.
- Get a bird's-eye-view, visual representation of your results using the Analyze results [4] button
- Export [5] your search results directly into a citation manage management tool or a spreadsheet for further analysis
