In the Scopus document search (your account should be connected to your organization, which must have an active subscription to Scopus), there is no option to filter documents by quartile. However, you can search for sources based on their quartile. If you want to automatically filter Scopus Q1 articles, you can use the source filter in the document search. First, you need to compile a list of sources classified as Q1, and then use this list as a filter.

- Add this query to filter by journal title:
AND (SRCTITLE("nameofq1journal") OR SRCTITLE("nameofq1journal")) - The final query in advanced search should be:
TITLE-ABS-KEY(plagiarism) AND (SRCTITLE("nameofq1journal") OR SRCTITLE("nameofq1journal")) - If you want to add more journal titles, simply add more SRCTITLE like this:
TITLE-ABS-KEY(plagiarism) AND (SRCTITLE("nameofq1journal") OR SRCTITLE("nameofq1journal") OR SRCTITLE("nameofq1journal")) - The next step is to find the list of Q1 journals. You can go to Scopus Sources

="SRCTITLE(""" & A2 & """) OR"
where A2 is the Source Title columnExported Excel File from Scopus - Copy the formula to all the data, and then remove the "OR" in the last entry.
Remove the "OR" in the last entry of the Scopus Q1 Journal. - Go to Notepad and paste the following:
TITLE-ABS-KEY(plagiarism) AND (REPLACE EXCEL DATA HERE)
Then, replace "REPLACE EXCEL DATA HERE" with the Excel data. - Here is your final advanced query
- Search for it in the Scopus document search using that query. You will find documents filtered by journals in the Computer Science field and in Q1. However, please remember that quartiles are not permanent and may change. Follow all the steps to ensure you get the latest updates.
