There are a few things about searching in Scopus that are different from searching in other databases.
When you want to adjust a search that you've already run in Scopus, you need to click the "Edit" button in the top left corner of the screen. If you type into the search box on the search results screen, it will search within your results, rather than running a new search.
When you use the Refine Results checkboxes on the left side of the screen to narrow your results, you have the option to include only the criteria you've selected (limit to) or to exclude the criteria.
For example, If you check "Open access" and click "Limit to," you'll see only open access articles in your search results. If you click "Exclude," you'll remove open access articles from your results list.
