Scopus PatentCites and WebCites

The Patent Cites and Web Cites features recently introduced in Scopus help researchers track the influence of research beyond journal articles into patents, theses and the grey literature.

PatentCites allows researchers to view citations from patents that cite Scopus articles. Where an article on Scopus has been cited in a patent a PatentCites link will appear on the abstract and references page. If you click on the patent cites link you will see all of the patents that cite this article and from here you can go to the source patent item.

The patent sources covered are the US Patent Office, the European Patent Office and WIPO.

WebCites shows how many times an article has been cited in selected web sources indexed by Scirus. Where an article on Scopus has been cited in a selected web source a WebCites link will appear on the abstract and references page. If you click on the WebCites link you will see all of the web sources that cite this article and from here you can go directly to that item on the web.

The selected web sources indexed includes MIT Open Courseware, NDLTD, DIVA, the University of Toronto Repository and the CalTech repository .
