I’ve been using Scopus for several months now, but I haven’t tried out the RSS feature (or, as our Scopus rep said when she highlighted it, “RSSS” – I hope someone has corrected her by now). My favorite use of Scopus is the citation features. Due to the higher number of journals indexed, the “times cited” number is often considerably higher than with Science Citation Index, which, of course, makes my faculty members very happy. Their citation analyis features appear nice, too, but other than demonstrating them to one faculty member, I haven’t had occasion to use them.
