What can I do on a Document details page?
Last updated on November 19, 2025
The Document details page allows you to view, and export the document including full text download, saving to a list, and setting alerts. The Document details also provides author details (and Corresponding author email), document information, funding details, metrics information, referenced & citedby documents, and Similar documents.
To view a document details page, select a document title from your search results. Or access directly via a direct link with the document EID (https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/8493063027x).
From the Document details page, you can export, download, save, set citation alerts, and order the document.
Note: Links to full text and other library services are customizable and depend on how Scopus is configured at your institution. A link to the abstract on a platform outside of Scopus may be available. Select the link to open the abstract in a new browser window from the external platform.
- From the top of the Document details page, select 'Export'.
- Select your method of export.
- Tick the boxes for the information to export.
- Select the 'Export' button.

Select 'View PDF' to easily access the published version of an article using Get Full Text Research (GetFTR). GetFTR is a free-to-use solution for academic discovery services and scholarly collaboration networks.
To download PDF versions of documents, you must use the Scopus Document Download Manager (DDM). The DDM is available from Scopus document results lists and document details pages and is accessible though Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and MS Edge (Chromium). For more information about the DDM and downloading documents, see How do I download documents using the Scopus Document Download Manager?
- From the Document details page, select 'Download'. The Document Download Manager opens.
- Select 'Download' and a PDF document is saved to your default browser download folder.
Note: The download link is not available when viewing some Scopus references. If you are unable to download a full-text document, it may be due to your IP address and institutional elements. You must execute a download from your own environment so that your IP authentication grants you access to the full-text content your institution subscribes to across multiple publishers.

Open Access | Open Access (OA) in Scopus is represented at the journal/source level, and the article level. To make Open Access information available at the article level, Scopus partnered with Impactstory, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making science more open and reusable. Out of the +21,000 active journals indexed in Scopus, approximately 4,065 (and increasing) are registered as Open Access (OA) journals. OA refers to journals and articles in which all peer reviewed scholarly articles are online and available without restrictions. Open Access journals or articles are indicated in orange text as Open Access on any results list where they are available, the Scopus Sources page, or on a Source details page. In Scopus, journals are registered as being Open Access only if they are registered as Gold OA or Subsidized OA at one or both of the following sources:

SciVal Topic Prominence | A Topic is a collection of documents with a common intellectual interest and can be large or small, new or old, growing or declining in momentum. Over time, new Topics will surface, and as Topics are dynamic, they will evolve. As with the nature of today’s research landscape many Topics are multidisciplinary and old Topics may be dormant, but they still exist. In addition, researchers themselves are mobile, and work in various research areas and thereby contribute to multiple Topics. These Topics are powered by SciVal and are now displayed directly in Scopus on Document Record pages along their prominence percentile score. You can click on the Topic label on Document Record pages to explore the Topic or open it in SciVal for further analysis. For more information, see What is SciVal Topic Prominence in Science? For more information about how metrics are used in SciVal, see the Research Metrics Guidebook. |
