Nevertheless, it is crucial to recognize that the Scopus indexing service operates autonomously and retains exclusive authority over its own selection criteria and evaluation timeline. Conference papers are reviewed for indexing only after the official publication of the proceedings, and they are added to databases on a strictly selective basis. As such, no specific paper or proceedings volume can be guaranteed indexing before the conference. Ultimately, Scopus holds absolute discretion over the final inclusion decisions, the specific items selected, and the timing of their indexing processes.
