According to the results of the last check last year, in December, indexing of four more journals from the Scopus database was suspended. In total, 60 publications were excluded from Scopus in 2023.
The main reason for most of the exclusions is Publication Concerns, i.e. violations of publication ethics by scientific journals. Also, one of the journals failed to pass the Radar system.

Exclusion from the Scopus database is an incentive for journals to improve their peer review and article editing processes, which in turn leads to an increase in the level of trust in scientific publications and the credibility of the publications.
