Abstract

The Council for Research, Development and Innovation decided in 2008 that the database Scopus should serve as an important resource for evaluation of research activities in the Czech Republic. In accordance with this decision, the purchase of the licence for research organisations has been included in the grant program INFOZ. The article deals with the possibilities and limits of Scopus for these purposes and demonstrates it on the case of the University of Pardubice. It includes the comparison of Scopus and Web of Science in this field as well.
