Abstract

We are exceptionally proud to share that, after just four years, JEMS has been accepted for Scopus, Elsevier’s abstract and
citation database of peer-reviewed literature, which puts powerful discovery and analytics tools in the hands of researchers, librarians, research managers and funders to promote ideas, people and institutions. Scopus is curated by independent subject matter experts who are recognized leaders in their fields and covers nearly 36,377 titles (22,794 active titles and 13,583 inactive titles) from approximately 11,678 publishers, of which 34,346 are peer-reviewed journals in top-level subject fields.

In its letter to the JEMS co-editors, the Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board indicated that: 


• JEMS consistently includes articles that are academically sound and relevant to an international academic or professional audience in the field.
• Although the scope of this journal is narrow, it addresses the need of an important niche audience.
