The most direct way to verify a journal's Scopus indexing status is to search the Scopus journal list. Scopus provides a comprehensive list of all the journals it currently indexes, which you can access through the Scopus website. Simply enter the journal title, ISSN, or other relevant information, and the search results will indicate whether the journal is indexed in Scopus.
Go to the Scopus website
Navigate to the "Sources" section
Enter the journal title, ISSN, or other relevant information in the search bar
The search results will indicate whether the journal is indexed in Scopus
In addition to the journal list, Scopus offers a specialized Source Search tool that allows you to search for and analyze information about specific journal sources. This tool provides detailed information about a journal, including its Scopus indexing status, as well as other metrics such as the CiteScore, SJR, and SNIP.

Another way to determine if a journal is indexed in Scopus is to check the journal's own website. Many journals that are indexed in Scopus will proudly display the Scopus logo or the "Indexed in Scopus" statement on their website, often in the "About" or "Indexing" sections.
It can be a quick and convenient way to verify a journal's Scopus status, especially if you're already familiar with a particular publication. However, it's important to note that not all journals may explicitly state their Scopus indexing on their website, so it's always a good idea to cross-reference the information with the Scopus journal list or Source Search.
