Scopus coverage history
Scopus indexed BMC News and Views for 2 years, between 2000 and 2001. Coverage ended in 2001, 25 years ago, and Scopus now lists the title as inactive.
Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 536 works and 646 citations for the title. Its papers appear as late as 2004, 3 years after Scopus coverage ended in 2001.
