Scopus helps make the peer-review process faster and more efficient

Scopus is now embedded into EES, Elsevier’s online submission and peer-review system.

This means that Elsevier’s 7,000 journal editors enjoy unlimited access to Scopus, while Elsevier’s network of 200,000 reviewers receive 30-day access to further support them during the peer-review process. This feature helps editors find new reviewers and reviewers can instantly locate an author’s related articles and references as well as track citations.
