Screenshot of the Scopus profile for the Journal of Neonatal Surgery (ISSN: 2226-0439), showing a significant increase in documents published in 2025 (231) compared to previous years.

Unbelievable! #Scopus missed a red flag with the Journal of Neonatal Surgery. @doaj.bsky.social delisted it on 20-Jan-2025 for not adhering to best practices, yet Scopus indexed 231 papers in 2025—over 6x the 2024 count! Time for Scopus to step up and ensure quality control.
