Scopus coverage history
Scopus indexed A Contrario for 19 years, between 2003 and 2023, with 2 years in that span missing. Coverage ended in 2023, 3 years ago, and Scopus now lists the title as inactive.
Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 544 works and 852 citations for the title. Its papers appear as late as 2025, 2 years after Scopus coverage ended in 2023. That pattern fits a journal Scopus stopped indexing while it kept publishing, but it can also come from a changed ISSN or merged records. Confirm the journal's current status before submitting.
