Access
Use this Link both on and off-campus to access Scopus. You can also find it on the A-Z Online Resources page.
Both IP and Shibboleth authentication have been set up for this resource in order to make on and off-campus access easier. This means that if you don't use the authenticated link and go directly to Scopus, you'll still be recognised as an Abertay user on-campus (via our IP range) but would have to select Institutional/Shibboleth login when attempting to access off-campus. We always recommend using the Library authenticated links provided.
The first time you login on-campus, you will see the screen below. Select the 'Nesli Abertay University, Athens + Shibboleth' option and check the 'Remember this organisation' box so that you won't see this screen next time. Click continue and enter your network username and password:
