January Scopus update served as yet another reminder that indexing is not a static characteristic of a journal, but a dynamic indicator that can change at any moment.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The seven journals that were removed from the index this month represent different countries, subject areas, and reasons for exclusion. Among them is a publication from Ukraine, which is particularly painful for Ukrainian scholars under the current circumstances.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>For the author, any deindexing means:<\/strong> A publication not being counted toward promotion or a faculty appointment, possible delays or refusals to allow the defense of a dissertation, problems with grant applications, and the loss of months or even a year of work.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Under these circumstances, choosing a magazine on your own is increasingly turning into a gamble, where a mistake can prove too costly.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Our monitoring data confirm this: between 2024 and 2025, 36 of the 44 journals that we identified as at risk in the \u201cCandidates for Removal from Scopus\u201d section were officially removed from the database. This is the highest rate among teams that monitor scientific publications.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The January update demonstrates once again that in today's academic environment, the authors who thrive are those who rely not on assumptions or luck, but on clear data and systematic monitoring.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>For Ukrainian science, which today competes on the international stage while operating amid military and economic challenges, the quality of publications and the reliability of indexing are not merely a formality but a strategic necessity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scopus \u043e\u043f\u0440\u0438\u043b\u044e\u0434\u043d\u0438\u0432 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0433\u043e\u0432\u0435 \u043e\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0431\u0430\u0437\u0438 \u2014 \u0456 \u0443 \u0441\u0456\u0447\u043d\u0456 2026 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443 \u0456\u043d\u0434\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044e \u0432\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0441\u0456\u043c \u0436\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0456\u0432. \u041f\u0435\u0440\u0448 \u043d\u0456\u0436 \u043e\u0431\u0438\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0436\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0438, \u0456\u043d\u0434\u0435\u043a\u0441\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0456 \u0443 Scopus, \u0432\u0430\u0436\u043b\u0438\u0432\u043e \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0443\u043c\u0456\u0442\u0438: \u0431\u0430\u0437\u0430 \u0436\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0456\u0432 Scopus \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456\u0439\u043d\u043e \u043e\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043b\u044e\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f, \u0430 \u0441\u043f\u0438\u0441\u043e\u043a \u0436\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0456\u0432, \u0449\u043e \u0432\u0445\u043e\u0434\u044f\u0442\u044c \u0434\u043e Scopus, \u0437\u043c\u0456\u043d\u044e\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0449\u043e\u043c\u0456\u0441\u044f\u0446\u044f. \u0412\u0438\u0434\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f, \u044f\u043a\u0435 \u0441\u044c\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0434\u043d\u0456 \u0432\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442\u044c \u0434\u043e \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043b\u0456\u043a\u0443 \u0436\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0456\u0432 Scopus, \u0437\u0430\u0432\u0442\u0440\u0430 \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435 \u0431\u0443\u0442\u0438 \u0437 \u043d\u044c\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0432\u0438\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0435. \u0421\u043f\u0438\u0441\u043e\u043a \u0432\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0430\u0454 \u0432\u0438\u0434\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":23290,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-isklyuchennye-zhurnaly-iz-scopus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-articles.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
