The Scopus logos to be used for labeling purposes can be downloaded from the Scopus info-site: https://www.elsevier.com/librarians/product-resources/toolkit-scopus.
The images can be resized to fit your website design, but proportions must be maintained and it must be large enough to be legible. Use alt="view on Scopus" tag to describe the logo link so it is accessible via screen readers and related accessibility-enabling technologies.

If Scopus cited-by counts are displayed as an image, the image must link to the corresponding location on www.scopus.com . Please note that Scopus link is included in XML and JSON API response as shown below:

<link rel="scopus" href="http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=49549114022&origin=inward"/>

or

{"@_fa": "true", "@href": "http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=49549114022&origin=inward", "@rel": "scopus"}

Example on how to embed Scopus cited by image on your website using text/html API response:

<iframe  height="50" data="http://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/citation-count?doi=10.1016/S0014-5793(01)03313-0&httpAccept=text/html&apiKey=7f59af901d2d86f78a1fd60c1bf9426a"></iframe>
	

How it appears on the site:


Please note that if you are using text/html API response the image is already linked to the appropriate www.scopus.com page.

When only Scopus cited-by value is displayed, the value must contain a link to the corresponding list of citing documents on www.scopus.com. The value must also be clearly labelled in your application or webpage as coming from Scopus. Please note that Scopus link is included in XML and JSON API response as shown below:

<link rel="scopus" href="http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=49549114022&origin=inward"/>

or

{"@_fa": "true", "@href": "http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=49549114022&origin=inward", "@rel": "scopus"}

When Scopus cited-by counts and other metrics or metadata (such as title, author names, etc.) are displayed:
- Scopus must be mentioned as the source of data on each individual web page where Scopus data appears.
- If multiple cited-by counts are displayed (e.g. PubMed, CrossRef), Scopus citation counts must be clearly labeled and linked to the corresponding list of citing documents on www.scopus.com at all visible instances.

A reference or footnote should be added to the research output acknowledging Scopus as a data source, adhering to common data and website citation practices (e.g. MLA, APA, etc.).

• If referring to Scopus, regardless of citation style used, link to the Scopus website and describe date accessed.
• If creating a dataset using data from Scopus APIs through api.elsevier.com, acknowledge both www.scopus.com and api.elsevier.com. Indicate the dates during which the data was retrieved.

Example:

The data was downloaded from Scopus API between September 15 and 30, 2015 via http://api.elsevier.com and http://www.scopus.com .
	

The journal metrics you display are standard and official values produced by Scopus or produced with Scopus data, and therefore subject to the following requirements:

• A link is created back to the Scopus source details page for each individual serial title and has the following format:

  https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/[sourceid]

• The journal metrics are annotated as "Powered by Scopus" (logo available here)
• For CiteScore, use the CiteScore metrics wordmark (available here)
