Many people <strong>mistakenly assume<\/strong> that if a journal appears in Scopus, it is indexed in Scopus, but this is not always the case. For example, as shown in the <strong>screenshot below<\/strong>, the journal is listed as &#8220;<strong>covered by Scopus: from 2009 to 2021<\/strong>.&#8221; This means that if you are looking at the journal in 2023-24, it is no longer indexed in Scopus, as Scopus coverage only goes up to 2021.
