In 2018, the SciELO Program will celebrate 20 years of operation, in full alignment with the advances of open science.
The SciELO 20 Years Conference will address and debate – during its three-day program – the main political, methodological and technological issues that define today’s state of the art in scholarly communication and the trends and innovations that is shaping the future of the universal openness of scholarly publishing and its relationship with today’s Open Access journals, in particular those of the SciELO Network.
The program of the conference is organized around the alignment of SciELO journals and operations with the best practices on communication of open science, such as publishing research data, expediting editorial processes and communication through the continuous publication of articles and the adoption of preprints, maximizing the transparency of research evaluation and the flow of scholarly communication, and searching for more comprehensive systems for assessing research, articles and journals.
A two-day meeting of the coordinators of the national collections of the SciELO Network will take place prior to the Conference with focus on the evaluation of SciELO journals and the SciELO Program and their improvement following the lines of action that will guide their development in the forthcoming five years.
The celebration of SciELO’s 20-year anniversary constitutes an important landmark in SciELO’s evolution, and an exceptional moment to promote the advancement of an inclusive, global approach to scholarly communication and to the open access movement while respecting the diversities of thematic and geographic areas, as well as of languages of scientific research.

20. Conclusion – ‘The rule of three’
• Visibility – Scopus indexes content from around the globe and covers >70% of the
SciELO Brazil Journal selection. Over 60% of the market will have access your research
when indexed in Scopus giving you strong visibility.
• Interoperability – International collaboration increases your FWCI and makes it more
impactful. Scopus showcases your SciELO citations via the direct PLUM integration.
• Credibility – There are more ways to be excellent, next to receiving citations and having a
high CiteScore, non-citation based metrics like Media Mentions, Usage, Social Media and
Captures via PLUM tell an additional value story.
FWCI says something about the impact your research is making based on the expected global average and corrected for subject area, age and content types, with one being the global average.
0.91 FWCI means that Brazil impact is just below the world average, but that can increase via international collaboration.
ratio of the total citations actually received by the denominator’s output, and the total citations that would be expected based on the average of the subject field.
Exactly 1.00 means that the output performs just as expected for the global average.
More than 1.00 means that the output is more cited than expected according to the global average; for example, 1.48 means 48% more cited than expected.
Less than 1 means that the output is cited less than expected according to the global average; for example, 0.91 means 9% less cited than expected.
Field-Weighted Citation Impact takes into account the differences in research behavior across disciplines.

PlumX has indexed all SciELO articles and incorporates usage and citation metrics from the SciELO platform alongside citation metrics from Scopus
Due to PlumX Metrics integration into Scopus 100% visibility of all SciELO content to all Scopus users.
PlumX Metrics summary displayed in Scopus with link to PlumX artifact page.
PlumX artifact page links through to SciELO platform, so not only are the metrics and impact of the research visible in Scopus, it can also help uses discover the SciELO platform.
