Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official Scopus evaluation?
No. This is an independent readiness assessment developed by DoNotEdit using publicly available Scopus selection information.
Does a high readiness score guarantee Scopus acceptance?
No. The score is a readiness indicator and does not predict or guarantee the final decision of Scopus or its Content Selection & Advisory Board.
What information does the checker analyze?
The checker can assess publicly available journal information and combine it with additional information supplied by the journal editor.
Can I assess a journal before it is eligible for Scopus?
Yes. The tool is designed to identify basic eligibility gaps and areas that may need improvement before formal submission.
How is the readiness score calculated?
The score is generated from DoNotEdit’s structured assessment framework. The methodology should be transparently described on the live page once the final scoring engine is implemented.
