Scopus coverage history
Scopus indexed Core Evidence for 14 years, between 2005 and 2018. Coverage ended in 2018, 8 years ago, and Scopus now lists the title as inactive.
Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 143 works and 3,272 citations for the title. Its papers appear as late as 2020, 2 years after Scopus coverage ended in 2018.
