The bulk of the content on Scopus is peer-reviewed journals which are selected according to our content coverage policy. Over 3,600 peer-reviewed titles are full open access titles (according to DOAJ and/or ROAD).

"Started in August 1991, arXiv.org is a highly-automated electronic archive and distribution server for research articles. Covered areas include physics, mathematics, computer science, nonlinear sciences, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. arXiv is maintained and operated by Cornell University with guidance from the arXiv Scientific Advisory Board and the arXiv Member Advisory Board, and with the help of numerous subject moderators."

Note that arXiv content is moderated, but not (generally) peer reviewed.
