 The Web of Science and the Science Citation Index

 Scopus

Scopus from Elsevier is a new multidisciplinary database including citation searching and therefore a competitor to  Web of Science from Thomson Reuters. Please find extensive documentation by Elsevier:  info.scopus.com

Advantage of Scopus

  • new database design providing high performance in searching and sorting of large answer sets
  •  extensive coverage of journals, technical reports, conference papers, non-English literature.
  • author identifier - Scopus tries to keep track of all name variants of an author and his afilliations
  • affiliation identifier - Scopus tries to keep track off all names of an institution and its branches
  • abstracts of older literature are included
  • online resources are covered

Drawback of Scopus

  • references starting in the year 1996, direct comparison of citation values from Web of Science to Scopus are very sensitive to correct time limits
  •  Scopus coverage of older literature depends strongly on the scientific field
