Scopus contains citation information for peer-reviewed scholarly outputs from journals, book series, conference proceedings, trade publications, and patents that are indexed in Scopus. You can access the list of items cited in an individual object by selecting references from the detailed record.
If the Cited Document is also indexed in Scopus that information is used enhance that documents record. This is an important distinction, for value added information such as Citation Counts, Scopus H-Index, Field-Weighted Citation Impact are only calculated using other works indexed in Scopus. In other words, both works need to be indexed by Scopus for citations to be counted. On the other hand Google Scholar casts a much winder net and includes citation information from a much larger number of resources, which is why ones Google Scholar H-Index is higher
None the less cited reference searching is one of the most powerful tools in Scopus. You can use it to trace the research impact of individual document, as well as to trace the development of the scholarly record.
Citation data is visible from the detailed document record of individual items.
Selecting the Cited by option in the menu below the article information allows you to see 10 most recent objects citing the work. To view all citations you must select "view all citation in search result format"
Explore additional citation data in Scopus from the document search results screen. The default view is listed by date (newest) but using the sort by function you can see list by citation counts (as shown below) you can also use the refine search functions to limit the results by subject area, document type, date range etc.
