h-Index
Performance measurement tool for scientific authors
(similar idea to journal impact factors but for individuals)
Established by Jorge Hirsch at UC San Diego
“A scientist has index h if h of his/her Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other (Np- h) papers
have no more than h citations each.”

Affiliation Identifier
The Scopus Affiliation Identifier is the world's first tool to help you identify and group an organization's complete body of work. It turns a time-consuming process into a simple task.
Provides the vital first step towards reviewing an organisation’s research output

Affiliation Profile
Journal AnalyticsThe Scopus Journal Analyzer provides a quick, easy and transparent view of journal
performance, now enriched with two journal metrics - SJR and SNIP.
Using citations from nearly 18,000 titles from 5,000 international publishers, the Scopus Journal
Analyzer gives editors, publishing teams, researchers and librarians quick, easy access to a
transparent and objective overview of the journal landscape going back to 1996.
5 graphical representations of the journal
SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)SJR is a measure of the scientific prestige of scholarly sources: value of weighted citations per document.
Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP)
SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.
