It was a very fruitful session, with over 30 questions raised, including article submissions to Elsevier, identifying key topics in Scopus, the difference between both Elsevier databases, on identifying the quality of top percentile journals in Scopus, understanding which journals to choose to publish in, and how to index a journal in Scopus. Hopefully, all participants can explore more about Science Direct and Scopus after attending this training.
