“I have been a long time fan of Scopus,” observed Robert L. Opila, professor of materials science and chemistry and biochemistry in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. “Because I am an editor, I have had early access to Scopus and I use it almost daily to find reviewers. It is a great resource to find references when writing proposals. I also use Web of Science, but Scopus is definitely my first choice. I think it is excellent that it will be available to the entire University.”
