Peter Jacso writes a free monthly column, Peter's Digital Ready
Reference Shelf
http://www.galegroup.com/free_resources/reference/peter/, providing
in-depth reviews of online databases and information services.

This month, Peter tackles Scopus, my copy printed at 10 pages
http://www.galegroup.com/free_resources/reference/peter/sept.htm.

Quoting from the September column's announcement:

SCOPUS, a mighty collection of multidisciplinary abstracting/indexing
records, enhanced with cited references, sporting-good search and
excellent linking capabilities. Scopus has outstanding output features,
including results lists displayed in a grid format, prominent display of
the citedness score of items on the results lists - which can be
re-sorted by decreasing citedness order (among others) - and an
automatic and instant bibliometric profile of the results lists.
