Recently, Scopus' official website updated the July 2025 journal catalog,
and 5 journals were removed; 34 new journals were added.
In this list of "Discontinued Titles", theranostics (influence factor 13.3)
of the TOP medical journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences District 1 is also
included. This means that since the journal was removed by Scopus, newly
published articles will no longer be included and retrieved by the database. (⚠
Note: Theranostics remains in normal retrieval status in SCIE, and this time it
only affects the inclusion of the Scopus database.)
The Scopus database is a database launched by Elsevier in November 2004. It
is currently the world's largest abstract and citation database for
peer-reviewed literature (scientific journals, books and conference records).
Scopus provides a comprehensive overview of global research results in science,
technology, medicine, social sciences, arts and humanities, and provides
intelligent tools for tracking, analyzing and visualizing research. To ensure
that the content included in the Scopus database accurately reflects the latest
developments and high-quality research results in the current academic
community, Elsevier will update it regularly.

At present, Scopus has not disclosed the specific reasons for the removal
of Theranostics, but combined with previous years' cases, high self-citation,
abnormal citation networks, or database adjustments related to specific
publishers may be potential factors.
Theranostics' exclusion by Scopus is one of the biggest high-division
journal changes so far this year. This is an important signal for researchers
who rely on Scopus search: high partition ≠ permanent and stable inclusion!
