Abstract

Nowadays, the
world?s scientific community has been publishing an enormous number of
papers in different scientific fields. In such environment, it is
essential to know which databases are equally efficient and objective
for literature searches. It seems that two most extensive databases are
Web of Science and Scopus. Besides searching the literature, these two
databases used to rank journals in terms of their productivity and the
total citations received to indicate the journals impact, prestige or
influence. This article attempts to provide a comprehensive comparison
of these databases to answer frequent questions which researchers ask,
such as: How Web of Science and Scopus are different? In which aspects
these two databases are similar? Or, if the researchers are forced to
choose one of them, which one should they prefer? For answering these
questions, these two databases will be compared based on their
qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
