Abstract

The registration of refereed scientific journals in global databases is
one of the standards used to classify universities as well as countries; so
many different countries seek to add their scientific journals in global
databases. The current study is trying to identify Scopus’s coverage of
journals, particularly the Egyptian journals, and analyze the characteristics
of the references cited in these journals. Thus finding out where the Arab
Republic of Egypt stands on the map of international publication by
determining the number of Egyptian journals indexed in Scopus. Based on
the bibliographic measurements method (Bibliometric), and citations
analysis, the study came out with a set of findings and recommendations,
which may help knowing the best ways of indexing a number of other
Egyptian journals in global database.
