Scopus coverage history

Is it still publishing? OpenAlex lists 616 works and 10,531 citations for the title. OpenAlex attributes papers to this title as late as 2012, 14 years after Scopus coverage ended in 1998. That may reflect a changed ISSN or merged records rather than continued publishing, so confirm the journal's current status directly before submitting.
